Spot factoring

Managing the cash flow of your company is a daily headache. Financial difficulties can quickly become stressful and no business owner wants to have to close down due to simple payment delays.

Yet, this problem can quickly take on a staggering magnitude when not addressed immediately. Does this situation sound familiar to you?

Are you looking for short-term financing solutions and feeling like you're racing against time?

Do traditional offers, imposing long-term commitments and heavy procedures, not suit you?

Are you looking for a way to simply finance, and only a part of your receivables portfolio, temporarily and without commitment?

Thus, you will obtain, on an occasional basis, the financing of one or more of your receivables by choosing the customers concerned yourself.

In just a few hours, you recover the amount corresponding to these, thereby giving you the opportunity to manage your cash flow as best as possible.

You will therefore no longer be subject to the deadlines granted to your customers for the payment of their invoices and you will not have to apply for a business loan. No interest, no risk of non-payment, nor even an obligation linked to backing a guarantee.

Trust Defacto and simplify your access to the useful capital to meet your urgent liquidity needs and your development! Want to know more? Discover the essentials of spot factoring in the rest of this article.

Why is it complicated to find punctual factoring companies?

For companies that, like you, have an immediate need for liquidity, factoring is a proven solution. However, searching for punctual factoring companies is sometimes a real challenge. And faced with constraints, you can easily get discouraged.

As a general rule, when setting up a factoring contract, traditional factoring companies impose a long-term commitment, which can quickly put pressure on your treasury.

According to a study conducted by the Bank of France, factoring contracts are generally very long. They span several years and make your adaptation to changes in situation complicated.

A complete transfer of the customer position is part of the terms imposed by these contracts, which often leads to difficulties in your relationships with your customers.

This indeed has a negative impact on their loyalty, as they lose trust and fear a lack of transparency.

Moreover, factoring requires generally heavy and costly administrative procedures.

The ASF - French Association of Financial Companies - notes that the costs related to this procedure are sometimes exorbitant for small businesses, with commissions and management fees that are added to the overall amount.

In this context, finding a punctual factor becomes extremely difficult. You find yourself in a delicate situation, forced to juggle your need to quickly obtain liquidity and all these constraints.

There is a pressing need for more flexible financing procedures, which adapt to the reality of the modern business world.

This is how we, at Defacto, stand out and become an attractive option for companies looking to obtain short-term financing with peace of mind.
