## What we do

### Invoice factoring (accounts receivable financing)
B2B companies sell approved receivables for immediate cash. Advance typically up to 95%. Customer pays on normal net terms. Not structured as bank debt.

### Purchase order financing
Capital to fulfill confirmed POs from creditworthy buyers — often 70–100% of supplier/production costs for pre-sold goods.

### Asset-based lending (ABL)
Lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment. For companies needing larger facilities (up to ~$10M+ working capital).

### Freight & trucking factoring
Freight bill factoring for carriers and owner-operators — fuel, payroll, and maintenance without waiting on broker payment.

### Medical factoring
Healthcare receivables while waiting on insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and HMO reimbursement.

### Equipment finance
Loans and leases for business equipment — transactions roughly $10,000 to $10M+.

### Merchant cash advances
Advance based on card sales volume — primarily retail/hospitality (distinct from B2B invoice factoring).

## Qualification snapshot

- Monthly sales: from ~$5,000/month for small receivable programs
- Invoice programs: often ~$50,000+/month in eligible receivables
- PO finance: typically $50,000+ per transaction with verifiable buyer PO

## Service pages & FAQs

### Invoice Factoring Services
URL: https://www.advancedfundinggroup.com/factoring-services
Accounts receivable factoring and working capital for B2B companies nationwide. Up to 95% advance, no setup fees, funding in 24–72 hours.

**Q: What is invoice factoring?**
A: Invoice factoring is the sale of approved B2B receivables to a factoring company for immediate cash. You receive an advance — typically up to 95% — and your customer pays on their normal terms.

**Q: How is factoring different from a bank loan?**
A: Factoring is not debt. There is no monthly principal and interest payment. Approval depends heavily on your customers' creditworthiness and invoice quality, not only your balance sheet.

**Q: How fast can I get funded?**
A: Most businesses receive a response within 24 hours and first funding within 24–72 hours after approval and onboarding.

**Q: What industries do you fund?**
A: Manufacturing, medical and healthcare, staffing, trucking and freight, government contractors, wholesalers, distributors, and B2B service companies.

**Q: Is there a minimum invoice volume?**
A: Programs start around $50,000 in monthly receivables. Lines can scale to $2 million or more as your sales grow.

### Medical Factoring
URL: https://www.advancedfundinggroup.com/factoring-services/medical-factoring
Medical accounts receivable financing for healthcare providers, staffing agencies, and suppliers waiting on insurance and payer reimbursement.

**Q: What is medical factoring?**
A: Medical factoring advances cash against approved healthcare claims and invoices while you wait for insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or HMO reimbursement — often 30–120 days.

**Q: Who uses medical factoring?**
A: Home health agencies, medical staffing firms, DME suppliers, imaging centers, labs, and practices with significant payer receivables.

**Q: Do you factor Medicare and Medicaid claims?**
A: Some programs support government payers through specialized structures. Contact us to review your payer mix and billing workflow.

**Q: How much advance do you provide on medical receivables?**
A: Advances typically range up to 80–90% of eligible net claims, depending on payer type, aging, and volume.

### Manufacturing Factoring
URL: https://www.advancedfundinggroup.com/factoring-services/manufacturing-factoring
Receivables financing for manufacturers and wholesalers billing net-30 to net-90 commercial customers.

**Q: Why do manufacturers use factoring?**
A: Manufacturers often pay suppliers and payroll weekly while billing large customers on 45–90 day terms. Factoring closes that timing gap without adding bank debt.

**Q: Can factoring fund raw materials?**
A: Factoring funds against delivered-and-invoiced receivables. For pre-delivery material costs, pair factoring with purchase order financing.

**Q: Do you work with international receivables?**
A: We focus on U.S. B2B receivables from creditworthy domestic customers. Export scenarios are reviewed case-by-case.

### Purchase Order Financing
URL: https://www.advancedfundinggroup.com/factoring-services/purchase-order-finance
Fund inventory and fulfillment for confirmed purchase orders from creditworthy buyers.

**Q: What is purchase order financing?**
A: PO financing covers supplier and production costs to fulfill a specific customer order. Repayment typically comes from the resulting receivable or factoring proceeds.

**Q: What do I need to qualify?**
A: A verifiable purchase order from a creditworthy end customer, proven fulfillment capability, and typically at least $50,000 per transaction.

**Q: Can PO finance work with factoring?**
A: Yes. Many clients use PO finance to buy goods and factoring to advance against the invoice after delivery — a complete trade cycle solution.

### Banking vs Factoring
URL: https://www.advancedfundinggroup.com/factoring-services/banking-vs-factoring
Compare bank lines of credit with invoice factoring for B2B working capital.

**Q: Is factoring more expensive than a bank loan?**
A: Factoring fees are quoted per invoice period (often 1–3% per 30 days), not as an annual APR on a loan balance. For short-term timing gaps, factoring can be competitive — especially when banks won't extend credit.

**Q: When should I choose a bank instead?**
A: Stable, mature companies with strong collateral and multi-year financials often get lower all-in cost from a bank line. Factoring wins when speed, flexibility, or customer credit matters more than rate.

**Q: Does factoring show up as debt?**
A: Factoring is structured as a sale of receivables, not a loan — so it typically does not add debt to your balance sheet the way a term loan would.

### Freight & Trucking Factoring
URL: https://www.advancedfundinggroup.com/freight-and-trucking
Freight bill factoring for carriers, owner-operators, and brokers — fuel and payroll today, broker payment later.

**Q: How does freight factoring work?**
A: You deliver the load, submit billing paperwork, and receive an advance — often same-day or next-day. The factor collects from the broker when the invoice matures.

**Q: Do you factor for owner-operators?**
A: Yes. Programs are available for carriers with active authority and established broker relationships.

**Q: What advance rate do carriers receive?**
A: Advances typically range from 90–97% of the invoice face value, minus a transparent factoring fee.

### Merchant Cash Advances
URL: https://www.advancedfundinggroup.com/merchant-cash-advances
Working capital based on future card receivables for retail and hospitality businesses.

**Q: What is a merchant cash advance?**
A: An MCA provides upfront cash repaid through a percentage of daily card sales — useful for retail and hospitality with steady card volume.

**Q: Is an MCA the same as factoring?**
A: No. MCAs are tied to card receipts; invoice factoring is for B2B receivables. B2B companies with net-term customers usually fit factoring better.

### Capital Equipment Finance
URL: https://www.advancedfundinggroup.com/capital-equipment-finance
Equipment financing and leasing for business assets — preserve working capital while upgrading operations.

**Q: What can equipment financing cover?**
A: Machinery, vehicles, technology, medical equipment, and other business assets with identifiable collateral value.

**Q: Can I combine equipment finance with factoring?**
A: Yes. Many clients finance equipment separately while using factoring for day-to-day receivables and payroll liquidity.

### Mobilization Funding
URL: https://www.advancedfundinggroup.com/mobilization-funding
Contract-based mobilization funding for commercial contractors and manufacturers — fund direct labor and materials from day one, repay when your customer pays.

**Q: What is mobilization funding?**
A: Mobilization funding provides working capital tied to a specific contract or project so you can cover direct labor, materials, and startup costs before your first pay application or invoice is collected. It unlocks cash from project execution instead of draining your reserves.

**Q: How is repayment structured?**
A: Repayment is aligned to project cash flow — you pay as you get paid. Schedules follow pay applications, progress billings, or draws from your general contractor or owner, not arbitrary monthly payments that fight your job calendar.

**Q: What is the difference between mobilization funding and a bank line?**
A: Mobilization programs are contract-backed and sized to a specific job's labor and material needs. Bank lines are often generic limits with covenants and slow underwriting. Mobilization funding is built around how commercial construction and project-based businesses actually bill and collect.

**Q: Can mobilization funding work with factoring and PO finance?**
A: Yes. Many contractors use mobilization funding to start a job, purchase order financing for supplier and production costs, and invoice factoring after receivables are submitted — covering award through final payment with one funding partner.

**Q: Who qualifies for mobilization funding?**
A: Commercial trade contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, fabricators, and government contractors with a verifiable contract award, purchase order, or approved receivables from a creditworthy customer.

### Supply Chain Finance
URL: https://www.advancedfundinggroup.com/supply-chain-finance
Supply chain finance pays your suppliers on your behalf — receive goods, sell through your channels, and repay on terms up to 90 days without deploying cash upfront.

**Q: What is supply chain finance?**
A: Supply chain finance is a program where a funding partner pays your approved suppliers when goods ship or services are delivered. You take delivery, sell the inventory or finished goods, and repay the funder on agreed terms — often up to 90 days — without tying up your own working capital upfront.

**Q: How is supply chain finance different from purchase order financing?**
A: Purchase order financing typically funds a specific customer order from PO through invoice. Supply chain finance focuses on the supplier payment side — paying vendors on your behalf so you can stock inventory and sell before repayment, regardless of a single end-customer PO structure.

**Q: Who provides supply chain finance?**
A: Advanced Funding Group structures supply chain finance programs for importers, distributors, manufacturers, and wholesalers in the United States and Latin America. A dedicated specialist reviews your suppliers, order volumes, and repayment timeline.

**Q: Can supply chain finance work with invoice factoring?**
A: Yes. Many importers and distributors use supply chain finance to pay suppliers on the buy side and invoice factoring to accelerate receivables on the sell side — covering the full trade cycle.

**Q: How do I apply for supply chain finance?**
A: Request a free quote through Advanced Funding Group or call (267) 446-7902. A specialist will respond within one business day.
