Telecom companies constantly need to invest in their infrastructure to match customer demand and stay competitive within a billion-dollar industry. From constructing new towers and upgrading to provide 5G support to managing payroll, it can be challenging to generate the cash flow needed to fund your operations. Waiting weeks (or months!) for customers to pay for services rendered just isn’t an efficient financing solution in an increasingly high-speed industry. Telecom invoice factoring can give you the cash flow you need to grow — fast.
What Is Telecom Factoring?
Invoice factoring is an alternative financing solution to traditional bank loans that can advance you up to 90% of the value of an outstanding invoice. By selling your invoices to a factor, they are responsible for the collections of payment from your customers. Once paid in full, your factor will pay you the remaining invoice balance, minus a small commission fee.
By using factoring for your telecommunications company, you get the working capital you need to help grow your business.
Benefits Of
Factoring
For Telecom
Companies
Factoring is a popular business financing option across B2B industries. Working with a factor can offer telecommunications companies the cash they need to fund operations costs, including:
- Rent and utilities
- Marketing campaigns
- Payroll and human resources
- Renovations
- Equipment costs
- Hiring contractors
- Legal retainers
Working with a factor ensures you won’t need to worry about daily withdrawals, interest rates or paying off interest at the end of a term loan. The cash your factor advances you is your cash — it’s collected from your customer invoices and provided to you from your factor.
Why Choose Telecom Factoring?
Get Funding Fast
You can receive immediate cash advances, typically same-day, for your invoices.
Avoid Debt
Invoice factoring is not considered debt, so no need to worry about monthly term payments.
Flexible Financing
You can choose to use invoice factoring for as many or as few Customers as you like.
Cost-Effective
Invoice factoring only costs your business pennies on the dollar, making it more affordable than traditional loans.
Build Resilience
Invoice factoring can provide necessary cash flow to navigate potential slowdowns or normal seasonality.

Client Testimonials
Hear It From Our Valued Customers
Ernane has helped me every step of the way with capital for my business!
When I first started working with Ernane, I had the concept for my business and a really strong pipeline, but I was in a really delicate balancing act between accounts payable and accounts receivable, operations costs and cash flow. He’s just someone I want to do business with.
Cesar Hernandez
Managing Director, Omni Public
We were able to establish a rapid and ready turnaround
Before we started working with Ernane, it was horrible. It was hard to get invoices on time and correctly and there was just no feedback from our bigger clients.
Once we started working with him, we were able to establish a rapid and ready turnaround. I had the funds available when I needed it and a faster turnaround in payment to our contractors.
Manny Ramirez

It’s been a real game-changer
We’ve worked with Ernane since last Spring. He’s helped us immensely as far as our cash flow. It’s been a real game-changer, honestly. He’s been keeping things going for us. I wish we had known about Ernane sooner in our business cycle, it would have been really helpful.

This is one of the best funding companies
If we didn’t go through Ernane, we would have had to wait 30 days before our first check came. After we started working with him, we were able to pay our employees on a regular basis. Otherwise, we would have had to have them wait.

Ernane is a very valuable asset to any organization and is a key component and partner in my company’s success. He has always been very responsive, from day one.
