Further, our experience allows us to provide potential Buyers with just enough important, but generic, information to quickly ascertain those that are serious from those that are ‘just shopping’.

Company Valuations

Preparing a company for sale and preparing a valuation can be somewhat cumbersome. Is it a platform or just a portfolio sales. How long has it been in business. How much of the key management personnel, if any will stay. Then, of course you have to have some similar comps to other sales which can be tricky data to gather. Let us help you decide if now is the right time to consider a sale by providing you a comprehensive market valuation.

Traditional or ABL Lines of Credit

Locating Lines of Credit is one of the most difficult challenges facing Factors today. The story banks are telling our clients, “Why should I lend money to companies that are lending money to customers who I will not lend money”. Banks and 1st Tier Lenders get into and out of the business of providing working capital to other lenders and Factors. When your factoring financing source exits, your business gets disrupted at no fault of your own. That is why it is important to find the “right” lender.

For over 20 years we have experienced which institutions are committed to financing this niche and which ones are just ‘testing the waters’. FactorHelp can help you located those lines of credit and placed with a lender that truly understands Factoring and is committed to the business for the long haul.

ReFactoring and ReDiscount Lines

FactorHelp has relationships with larger Factors that can provide ReFactoring and ReDiscount Lines. In these programs, the ReDiscounter allows access to their menu of services as well as to funding. The small Factor essentially becomes a consolidator of small deals for the factoring ReDiscounter, which would not deal directly with these Clients due to either their size, financial condition or both.

These programs can be on a Recourse or Non_Recourse basis, thereby protecting both the ultimate Client and the small Factor from credit losses. Factoring Rediscount Lines are more expensive than traditional Lines of Credit from 1st Tier Lenders or Banks. However, they allow access to the ReDiscounter’s service capabilities and are easier to qualify for since the lender is actually Refactoring (hence the term).

Factoring rediscount lines of credit can also be structured as Credit Guarantees only (when no financing is required). These are most prevalent in the Garment, Textile, Furniture and Retail Industries.
