Quick answer
Banks offer lower rates but require strong financials, collateral and weeks of underwriting. Factoring companies fund in days based on your customers' credit, making them better for growing, newer or seasonal businesses.

Banks: years of profits and collateral. Factors: creditworthy customers and clean invoices.

Banks are cheaper annually; factoring costs more but scales with sales and has no fixed payment.
Using both
Many companies factor while they grow, then graduate to a bank line.
