How much does invoice factoring cost in Alabama?

Pricing in Alabama is the same as everywhere we lend: typically 1%–3.5% per 30 days. Your exact rate depends on monthly volume, your customers' credit and average days-to-pay.

What size Birmingham businesses do you fund?

We fund Birmingham companies with facilities from $25,000 to $25 million, from owner-operators and startups to mid-market firms with eight-figure revenue.

Do I need good credit to qualify in Birmingham?

Not necessarily. Approval is based mostly on the creditworthiness of your customers and the quality of your invoices or purchase orders, not your personal credit score.

Which Birmingham industries use invoice factoring most?

In the Birmingham area we see strong demand from manufacturing, trucking, aerospace, construction companies, along with professional services and B2B suppliers.

Will my Birmingham customers know I'm using invoice factoring?

It depends on the structure. Traditional factoring sends your customers a notice of assignment directing payment to a lockbox. Confidential, non-notification facilities are available to qualifying Birmingham businesses — ask your advisor which your file supports.

Is there a long-term contract or minimum volume?

Not on our spot programs — you can finance a single invoice. Full-ledger facilities carry a term and a monthly minimum in exchange for a lower rate. Both options are quoted side by side so you can compare them before signing.

What happens if a Birmingham customer pays late or not at all?

Under a recourse facility you repurchase the invoice or swap it for another after an agreed number of days. Under non-recourse, we absorb the loss if an approved customer becomes insolvent — though commercial disputes over quality or delivery are excluded from both.
