How to Select the Best Invoice Factoring Finance Company for your Business

What is factoring?

Factoring is an innovative method of business financing that
allows clients to get an accelerated payment on their slow
paying invoices. Traditionally, when a company offers its
services to another business, they need to wait between thirty
to sixty days to get paid. Although companies that have a large
cash cushion in the bank can absorb the cost of waiting to be
paid, small and medium sized businesses cannot. This can
jeopardize a company’s ability to meet existing payment
obligations, or worse, prevent it from capitalizing on new
opportunities.

This is where factoring can be a very helpful tool. A factor can
provide a company with an advance payment on its accounts
receivable. The factor then waits to be paid by the clients’
customers, while the client gets use of the funds immediately.

The Effects of Financing Deficit on Leverage Choice of Quoted Firms In A Developing Economy: The Nigerian Experience

                   ONWUMERE J.U.J Ph.D

                   OKOYEUZU CHINWE

 

 

ABSTRACT:   This paper examines time-series patterns of external financing decisions consistent with the pecking order theory. Emerging  markets provide an excellent  laboratory to test the  explanatory power of financing deficit given the under developed markets for corporate control.The adverse selection problem of external financing automatically leads to the standard pecking order in which debt dominates equity.we run a regression with a firm’s change in debt as the  dependent variable and its financing  deficit as explanatory variable.  we control for other determinants of debt issuance. Controlling for other determinants of debt issuance helps us to see whether the adverse selection model  falsely omits critical determinants of leverage. This allows a nesting of the conventional determinants of leverage from… Read More…
