Quick answer: Instead of waiting 30, 60, or even 90 days to get paid, you sell your invoices to a factoring company. In return, they provide a cash advance — typically 70% to 90% of the invoice amount — subject to lender review.
In today’s competitive economy, cash flow isn’t just important — it’s critical. If you're running a business in Mississauga and dealing with slow-paying clients, outstanding invoices can restrict growth, delay payroll, and limit your ability to seize new opportunities.
That’s where accounts receivable factoring comes in. It's a flexible, fast, and debt-free way to unlock the cash trapped in your unpaid invoices.
This guide will break down what factoring is, how it works, and why it’s a game-changer for Mississauga-based businesses.
What Is Accounts Receivable Factoring?
Accounts receivable factoring, also known as invoice factoring, is a financing method that allows you to turn outstanding invoices into immediate cash.
You get working capital when you need it, not when your clients decide to pay.
BDC’s factoring guide distinguishes selling receivables from borrowing money.
“Factoring is not a loan”
That distinction matters when comparing factoring with a credit line: review invoice eligibility, collection responsibilities, fees and who bears non-payment risk.
How Does Invoice Factoring Work?
Here’s how the process typically works with a factoring provider like Mehmi Financial Group:
- Invoice Your Customer
Deliver your goods or services and issue an invoice as usual. - Sell the Invoice to Mehmi Financial Group
Instead of waiting for your customer to pay, you sell the invoice to us. - Receive Your Advance
We advance you 70–90% of the invoice’s value — often subject to lender review. - Customer Pays the Invoice
Your customer pays the invoice amount directly to us. - Get the Remaining Balance
Once the customer pays, we send you the rest (minus a small factoring fee).
✅ No loans. No new debt. Just faster access to the money you’ve already earned.
