Factoring is becoming increasingly popular among businesses looking to improve cash flow. One of the first questions we often hear is: “How much does factoring actually cost?” Factoring costs vary depending on several factors, such as invoice amount, payment terms, and risk. Fortunately, you don’t have to calculate it manually because our Factorscan lets you determine your fee in just a few minutes.

What are factoring costs?

Factoring costs are usually a percentage of the invoice value. This fee is paid to the factoring company in exchange for the immediate payment of your invoices. Instead of waiting weeks or months for your money, you gain instant working capital.

The fee depends on:

  • The number of invoices you want to factor

  • The payment terms of your customers

  • The risk the factoring company assumes

  • Your industry or sector

On average, costs range from 1% to 5% of the invoice amount.

Factoring vs a loan

Factoring is not a loan. Therefore, it offers an advantage on your balance sheet: you do not incur short-term or long-term debt through factoring. In contrast, with a loan, this is the case.
