Invoice receivable funding is one of the oldest forms of financing. It has been around in one form or another for centuries. Until the mid-1980s, most people thought invoice receivable funding was only used in the textile and garment industries. Today, it is a widely used and viable financing solution for all types of businesses that extend credit terms to their customers. It gives your business the power to ensure growth without diluting equity or incurring debt.

Why would a company sell its invoices?
Most companies cannot afford to have unpaid invoices for 30 or 45 days or more. They need cash to meet immediate financial demands of their business, such as payroll, insurance, rent, and other obligations.

Back to top

How does IPS Invoice Payment System work with an established financial institution, such as a bank?

There are two major areas to consider:
1. If a bank is approached by a customer for funding that they cannot accommodate, IPS Invoice Payment System may be the answer. By working with IPS Invoice Payment System, a bank will retain its customer from a regular banking point of view; IPS Invoice Payment System will be funding your company through the payment of your invoices.

2. What if a bank has reached its lending limit? If the client continues to grow, but the bank is not ready to increase the operating Limit, then IPS Invoice Payment System may be the solution. By allowing IPS Invoice Payment System to finance your company through the payment of your invoices, a valuable asset can be turned into cash, while the bank maintains its collateral for the credit facility.

All funds resulting from IPS Invoice Payment System flow through the bank, so the bank has full knowledge of the transaction. The bank will grant a subordination of their rights to a specific invoice(s) to IPS Invoice Payment System in consideration of being paid by IPS Invoice Payment System for that invoice.

Back to top

How is invoice payment from IPS Invoice Payment System different than invoice receivable financing from a bank?
When making a funding decision, IPS Invoice Payment System will focus on the creditworthiness of your customers, while banks will focus on your company's financial history and cash flow. In addition, since the invoice payment transaction is not a loan, there is less debt on your company's balance sheet. Best of all, unlike banks which may take weeks or even months to approve a loan,  IPS Invoice Payment System will make a quick funding decision.
Back to top

Will my company be eligible for IPS  Invoice Payment System if it has a bank loan or line of credit?
Yes, you will be eligible. However, if a bank has a lien on your company's invoices receivable, you should let us know right away. We will ask the bank to subordinate that lien in favor of IPS Invoice Payment System. Because this is a common occurrence, most banks will accommodate the request, but we must know this information in advance.
Back to top
