How Factoring Works for Telecom Companies

Today’s telecom industry is constantly growing as consumers demand more connectivity options than ever before. From building new towers to implementing the upgrades needed to receive 5G, companies are continuously competing to provide the fastest speeds possible.

Thanks to this increase in demand, telecom companies are faced with both new challenges and tremendous opportunities. If you find that you need immediate working capital to fund your growing telecom business to meet the challenges created by the 5G build-out, then invoice factoring may be the solution for you.

What Is Telecom Factoring?

Invoice factoring is a business financing option that allows you to sell your company’s invoices to a professional factoring company in order to quickly get the cash you need to support your business’s growing expenses today. It might sound complicated, but invoice factoring can actually be quite simple — even broken down into five steps:

1. You provide telecom services to your Customers as usual.
2. You send out invoices to your Customers for those telecom services.
3. You then sell your invoices to a factoring company, which pays you a cash advance of between 80% – 90% of the invoices’ face value, less a nominal fee.
4. The factoring company collects payment directly from your Customers, usually 30 – 45 days later.
5. Once the Customer has paid in full, the factoring company will pay you the remaining invoice balance.

Why Choose Invoice Factoring for Your Telecom Company

Telecom companies like yours need a steady cash flow to keep pace with the market, making cash advances from invoices a natural solution to meeting that demand. Different than a term loan with its ceilings on loan amounts and long payback periods, Factoring is an advance on the money to be collected from your regular invoices which can grow as your business grows. Advances are typically made within 24-48 hours after receipt of approved invoices, and in this way, cash is provided immediately to help ensure your telecom operations run smoothly and continue growing.
