Missouri

Financial situations for companies can be challenging. No matter if you’re a start-up or a well-established company, you need steady cash flow.

Companies in a variety of financial stages choose a Missouri factoring company to obtain steady cash flow. Scale Funding gives your business the cash it needs to maintain daily operations, meet payroll, catch-up on bills and invest in new resources.

If you’re waiting on slow-paying customers, have a maxed-out line of credit, less-than-perfect credit, got turned down by a bank, filed for bankruptcy or have a tax lien, we can help.

Cash-Flow Solutions Made Simple

Accounts Receivable Financing & Invoice Factoring

Many businesses that have a cash-flow gap use factoring to bridge the gap between invoicing and customer payment.

Accounts receivable financing, also known as invoice factoring, solves your cash-flow gap problem by paying you immediately on your invoices.

Invoice factoring with Scale Funding is a simple process. First, complete your work as you normally would. Instead of sending your invoice to your customer, send it to Scale Funding. We provide a competitive advance on your invoice within 24 hours. We’ll send your invoice to your customer. Once we collect payment from your customer for you, we pay you the remaining five percent, minus a small factoring fee.

Factoring is an Alternative to Business Loans & Business Lines of Credit

While business loans and business lines of credit are good sources of cash, these only solve your cash-flow gap for a short period of time. As your business grows and you take on more contracts and customers, you may need more financing to fill the cash-flow gap. However, it can be difficult to obtain more capital through a bank as debt is created on your balance sheet.

Invoice factoring fills the gap no matter how much your business grows. The amount of cash we provide is dependent on the amount of work you do. The more contracts you have, the more cash you’ll receive.
