Factoring Examples
Consider the effect of Factoring...
Industrial Painting and Maintenance Company
$125,000 Factoring Facility
Located in southeast Houston, this owner-operated industrial paint contractor needed funding over and above its current bank term loan. The company had grown quickly in early 2006’s, but suffered a severe decline in business in 2008 when energy related projects ceased due to low oil and gas prices. The bank provided a subordination for a portion of receivables in order to allow Morrell to have clear title for factoring. Over the next two years the company’s sales increased from $45,000 per month to over $150,000 per month due to returned health of the industry. Factoring allowed the company to make timely payments on its bank loan and expand when industry conditions improved. Approximately six months ago the company retired the bank loan and now no longer needs factoring. The factoring facility remains available if the company encounters a large project.
Contract Trucking
$15,000 Factoring Facility (Multiple Accounts)
One of the large distributors of water and sewer components in Houston had a number of small trucking companies transporting their products from the distribution center to various neighborhoods under development in the area. The accounts payable department had to deal with weekly payments to all of these thinly capitalized firms and differing invoice procedures for each. After Morrell standardized the invoice and payment procedures for the first trucker, the distributor referred all six other companies to Morrell for factoring. Each company was able to invoice on the same day and receive immediate funding. The distributor was able to reduce interruptions of its A/P department to a minimum and conserve its own cash flow. The individual truckers received steady weekly funding and professional A/R management services from Morrell. Many of the truckers were able to expand to other distributors and buy additional equipment.
Natural Gas Metering Company
$100,000 Factoring Facility
Metering company in north Texas received a $750,000 order for meters to be sold over a six month period of time to a large Oil and Gas Development Company. The metering company had limited credit with its supplier, also a large multinational distributor. The metering company was only able to negotiate net 45 day terms with the customer, while agreeing to pay the supplier in 15 days. The contract was fulfilled in a timely manner by factoring invoices to keep current with the supplier. With three months of solid payment performance made possible through factoring, the supplier extended the payment terms to match the terms demanded by the customer and gave the metering company a substantial discount on volume purchases. The metering company is now the sole supplier of meters for the energy company.
