Invoice factoring allows you to sell outstanding invoices to a third-party factor at a discount in exchange for immediate capital. The factor advances a percentage of the invoice value upfront, collects payment from your customer, then remits the balance minus a fee. This is not a loan. You are selling an asset you already own, so approval hinges on your customers' creditworthiness rather than your own balance sheet. For businesses near Discovery Street and the Lake San Marcos Resort corridor, factoring transforms receivables into operating cash the same week, keeping projects on schedule and vendors paid.
