Factoring Options for Bankruptcy Reorganization

For companies going through a bankruptcy reorganization, post-petition financing is a challenge. Traditional lending sources are not an option. Accounts receivable financing with Scale Funding is the answer.

Scale Funding provides factoring lines to post-petition companies in many industries. Factoring makes cash available via the purchasing of a company’s invoices. As they emerge from a bankruptcy filing, many companies use factoring because it doesn’t create debt.

Post-Petition Bankruptcy – How Factoring Works

Invoice factoring is a financing option many businesses use for post-petition cash flow. Factoring is the selling of accounts receivables (invoices) to a factoring company for an immediate cash advance. Instead of waiting for 30, 60 or even 90 days for customer payments, factoring gives these companies the instant cash they need to manage their business.

Here’s how accounts receivable factoring works. When Scale Funding purchases your invoices, we transfer a competitive advance on the invoice amount directly into your bank account within 24 hours, via direct deposit. The remaining amount is held in reserve. Once your customer makes payment on the invoice to Scale Funding, the remaining balance, minus a small fee, is paid to you.

Bankruptcy Reorganizations Use Factoring

When a company is going through a bankruptcy reorganization, business loans and business lines of credit are not an option for financing. Banks simply will not approve loans or lines for companies in bankruptcy. This is why factoring makes sense.

With the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, companies can take advantage of factoring through debtor-in-possession financing (DIP), giving them the opportunity to cash-flow their operations and return to profitability. For many companies in bankruptcy, DIP financing is the only viable option to improve cash flow.

Accounts receivable factoring relies on the credit and payment history of your customers. DIP factoring lines are based on your customer’s ability to pay. In addition, factoring does not create debt for your company. It simply speeds up access to the cash you’re due.
