    10-Reasons Companies Use Alternative Funding

     10-Reasons Companies Use Alternative Funding 

    1. Significantly increase the cash flow of your business
    • Earned cash is-available for qualified receivables in as little as 24-hours.

    2. Use readily available cash to grow your business
    • Funds generated by factoring can be used for new equipment acquisitions, inventory purchases, marketing expenditures/ facility improvements, etc. that otherwise may not have been feasible when you needed them most.

    3. The process is very efficient and reliable
    • Once approved, our clients trust American Prudential Capital for a userfriendly approach to doing business each and every month. Payments to our clients are dependable because we understand what a predictable stream of cash can mean to the life of any business.

    4. Use what you need when you need it
    • There are NO required monthly minimums for factoring and no long-term obligations. We recognize that factoring should be a "bridge mechanism" to more traditional financing and that typically our services are a season in the life of most businesses. Our contract is month-to-month because we earn your business.

    5. Capital availability is flexible
    • Factoring is the only means of business financing that can grow proportionally and immediately with your business as you need it.

    6. Minimize internal costs associated with collections
    • Your company will spend less time on collections since we take on most of this task. Thereby, you can focus more of your efforts on higher value-added activities such as sales and production.

    7. Better knowledge of your customer's credit
    We are extremely proficient at verifying your customer's credit and ultimately their ability to pay your invoices. This enables you to make more informed decisions on where to target your efforts for the greatest gain and minimize your bad debt write-offs.

    8. Leverage your customer's credit rating
    • Your customer's good credit rating is one of the strongest assets you can have when factoring. It is their positive history as much as anything that makes this process work for you.

    9. Factoring is not a loan
    • No debt is created when factoring so there is NO negative impact on your financials. You are not using long-term debt to satisfy a short-term need for cash. This increases your appeal to traditional lenders because factoring creates cash in your bank account and not debt on your Balance Sheet.

    10. Take advantage of early payment discounts to suppliers
    • Minimize some of your factoring costs by leveraging supplier offered discounts for early payment and simultaneously increase your credit rating.

    What do our clients say about American Prudential Capital?

    "As a subcontractor in the Commercial Construction' industry for nearly 12 years, I understand how difficult it can be to survive in a competitive market which is characterized by seasonal fluctuation and increasing demand for strong performance. My association with American Prudential Capital has been a lifesaver for my business. Not only have I received the financial assistance that I needed, but my good friends at APC have been there to help me make right decisions for our company. What I discovered by utilizing their service was that they truly care about their clients and want to help others succeed.' The degree of integrity with which APC conducts its business is unsurpassed.
