Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. However, when they experience some kind of financial trouble, the big lending institutions are often reluctant to help them out, as they do not meet their lending criteria.
Here at American Prudential Capital, we know the importance of small businesses, and that is why we have made it our mission to provide financial help to all kinds of small companies, from distribution and manufacturing companies to government contractors.
If you are working in the government, you are no doubt well aware of some of the issues of your type of business.
Not only are you subject to the normal problems suffered by any small business, such as cash flow, staffing problems, and issues with time management, but you have also got to operate in compliance with all government regulations. This makes it more important than ever to maintain a steady cash flow to ensure that your operation runs smoothly, you can complete your projects on time, and that you have adequate funds to meet payroll.
When things get tough, traditional funding routes often are not a good solution. Many times government. contractors do not meet the strict lending criteria or the traditional funding institutions simply cannot approve and release the funds you so desperately need, quickly enough.
And that is where we can help, as we have a unique understanding of your particular kind of business and, more importantly, we have the flexibility needed to react quickly to a loan request. We are able to provide the money you need at very short notice, thus keeping your business running smoothly and leading to a higher rate of customer satisfaction.
How Does Funding Work?
We offer several forms of alternative financing, depending on your needs and the collateral you have on offer. One of our most common forms of alternative funding is invoice factoring, where we will pay you a percentage of your accounts receivable when you sell your outstanding invoices to us. This works particularly well for government contractors that are working in the government, as we know that your clients will have an excellent credit rating and payment record, meaning that there is minimum risk to our investment.
If you are a larger company, we also offer invoice funding as a way to release the cash you are owed into your business. For a small fee, we will give you the balance of your accounts receivable, but still allow you to keep full control of your invoices. If you would like to find out more about invoice factoring or invoice funding, get in touch with a member of our team who will be happy to explain the benefits for you as a government contractor.
If you supply goods to government departments, you may be eligible to apply for purchase order (PO) financing, although this is only available to companies that resell third-party goods or use a third-party manufacturing company.
However, it is a really simple process to set up, and could really help your business with its cash flow. Once again, should you require any further information, please contact our team so we can refer you to reliable PO financing company.
Benefits of Alternative Funding
There are several benefits to Alternative funding for government employees of which is the speed at which it can be transacted, wherein a worker can be quickly provided with the cash needed for its business requirements. Another aspect of flexibility, however, is that you can choose to sell all of its invoices to an alternative financing company, or just a few which would generate sufficient cash to cover any existing shortfall.
Then too, if most or all invoices are then managed by the alternative funding company, the contractor is relatively freed up from the need for collections and maintaining a large receivables staff. This would allow it to concentrate on its core business, which is providing personnel to clients, rather than invoicing and collections.
Another benefit is that, to qualify for funding, you do not need to have a stellar credit history itself because an alternative funding company is more concerned with how creditworthy the clients of that company are. If clients typically pay their invoices on time, that indicates that the alternative funding company incurs less risk from purchasing those invoices and then attempting to collect on them.
