Direct answer
Total funding cost depends on invoice value, advance, fee schedule and actual customer payment date.
A current receivables aging, customer contract, actual invoice and proof of accepted goods or services show what the buyer owes. Eligibility is assessed on the actual transaction rather than a general claim that a business has sales.
How to assess this transaction
Work through a complete cash-in and cash-out example with the funder's proposal.
Trace the cash cycle from invoice issue, buyer approval, any advance, collection and release of the remaining balance. Identify which obligation falls due before the buyer pays and whether that stage has supporting records.
Where applications run into trouble
A short quoted rate can obscure fees for an extended collection period.
Put this risk in writing when comparing proposals. Ask which part of the order or receivable would be excluded and whether approval depends on a document you have not yet obtained.
Practical next step
Gather the documents for one real transaction and ask National Invoice Factoring which parts can be reviewed. Share the expected payment date and existing lender arrangements so any quote reflects your situation.
For broader context, review accounts receivable financing alongside alternatives; no article can determine approval or pricing for an individual deal.
