In the trucking industry, delayed payments can stall your entire operation. Fuel, maintenance, insurance, and driver wages don’t wait—but your invoices often do.

Invoice factoring, also known as freight factoring, offers a practical cash flow solution by converting your unpaid invoices into immediate working capital. In this guide, we’ll break down how invoice factoring works, the benefits for Canadian truckers, and how Mehmi Financial Group makes the process seamless.

What Is Invoice Factoring?

Invoice factoring is a financial service that allows trucking companies to sell outstanding invoices to a factoring broker—such as Mehmi Financial Group—in exchange for upfront cash.

Instead of waiting 30, 60, or 90 days for customers to pay, you receive a percentage of the invoice value within 24–48 hours, and the broker collects payment directly from your clients.

How It Works

  1. Deliver the Load: Complete the job and generate an invoice.
  2. Submit the Invoice: Send your invoice to the factoring broker.
  3. Receive Immediate Payment: Get 80–95% of the invoice value up front.
  4. Client Pays Broker: Your customer pays the full invoice to the broker.
  5. Receive Remaining Balance: Once the customer pays, you receive the rest (minus a small fee).

Mehmi Financial Group typically offers advance rates up to 95%, depending on your customer’s credit and payment history.

Types of Invoice Factoring

Different factoring models fit different business needs. Here are the most common:

1. Recourse Factoring

  • You absorb the risk if your client doesn’t pay.
  • Lower fees and higher advance rates.
  • Ideal if your clients have strong payment histories.

2. Non-Recourse Factoring

  • The broker absorbs the risk of non-payment.
  • Slightly higher fees.
  • Offers peace of mind if clients’ credit is uncertain.

3. Spot Factoring

  • Factor only the invoices you choose, as needed.
  • No long-term contract required.
  • Great for owner-operators or new businesses.

Why Truckers Use Invoice Factoring

Improved Cash Flow

Don’t wait weeks for payment. Use upfront funds to cover fuel, maintenance, insurance, and payroll.

Easier Approval

Factoring is based on your client’s creditworthiness, not your business credit. It’s accessible even for startups or companies with poor credit.

Reduced Stress

Eliminate financial strain and focus on what matters most—delivering loads and growing your business.

Scalable Financing

The more you haul, the more you can factor. Invoice factoring grows alongside your business without needing to reapply.

How to Choose the Right Factoring Partner

Not all factoring brokers are equal. Here’s what to look for:

  • Advance Rates: Look for brokers offering 85–95% upfront.
  • Transparent Fees: Avoid hidden charges. Ask for a full breakdown.
  • Customer Support: Choose a broker that offers hands-on support, not just automation.

Common Misconceptions About Invoice Factoring

“It’s the same as a loan.”
Factoring is not a loan—there’s no debt on your books. You’re selling your receivables for early payment.

“Only struggling businesses use factoring.”
Successful, growing businesses use factoring to unlock working capital and take on new contracts confidently.

“It’s expensive.”
When weighed against lost opportunities or high-interest credit lines, factoring often offers better value.

“Clients will think I’m in trouble.”
Factoring is discreet and professional. Your clients won’t be alarmed—many large carriers use it as a standard practice.
