merchant factoring



One of the biggest mistakes that a business owner, irrespective of what sector of the market they happen to be involved in is to fail to use and exploit their assets in the most effective and productive manner possible. Failing to do so can ultimately drag down the overall productivity of the business which in turn will have a detrimental effect on the overall quality and profitability of the business as well.

In severe cases, the lack of productivity enjoyed by the business may mean that it has to increase the prices that it levies for its goods/services which in turn will alienate their customer base and damage their goodwill. Potentially, this can mean that competitors can then step in and acquire previously untapped control which in turn will drive down the profitability and control of the business. The ultimate outcome here? The business finds itself outpriced and outclassed by its rivals.

To many business owners, an outstanding invoice which is yet to be paid is nothing more than a financial and logistical headache in that it the business owner will be forced by necessity to chase up the customer who owes the money and ensure that they pay it up. What many of them fail to realise or appreciate is that these invoices can actually be used as leverage to raise significant and worthwhile amounts of capital, which in turn, will alleviate any cashflow problems that the business is enduring.

With merchant account factoring, the business owner will be able to acquire capital by effectively selling their invoices which have an outstanding balance owed on them to a merchant account factoring company.

One of the major benefits of using a merchant account factoring is that the factoring agency will assume full and total responsibility for the collection process. This means that the client company need not worry about hiring or using administrative staff to ensure that the balance is paid, the factoring agency will do all this for them. In short, the client company benefits from saving time, money and manpower.

Please note that there have been concerns raised about the usage of merchant account factoring and specifically, these concerns have focused on the fact that there is a great deal of potential for the accounts in question to be used for illegal and illegitimate purposes, specifically, money laundering.

Given the extremely strict liability issues that arise from the PATRIOT Act in the USA and other jurisdictions, the mere fact that a business entity was unaware that money laundering was taking place is of no benefit to them, and is not enough to prevent culpability arising.

Concerns have also been raised due to the fact that merchant account factoring can also be routinely used for credit card fraud, and a series of high profile scandals have only served to further highlight the dangers of this very issue.
