Accounts receivable factoring seems like a pretty basic concept if you just read an introductory article about the concept and practice. Basically, for a small percentage, an individual or company advances you the cash due from your receivables. The factor makes money on the transaction by collecting more than they advanced and the recipient company receives cash possibly months before they would have received it if they had waited for payment.

But it’s just not that simple.

If you want to gain some insights into the process and the potential advantages of factoring, Ozark Capital Funding has prepared an E-book that presents some of the ins-and-outs of factoring. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how to order it or what it costs. The E-book, titled “Accelerate Your Cash Flow With Invoice Factoring,” is being promoted on the OCF website blog but there is no purchase information although, apparently, you will be able to purchase the book through Paypal.

I’ll tell you more when I have had a chance to gain access to the book and review it.
