How Factoring Rates Are Calculated
Factoring fees are typically based on:
1. Invoice Size
Larger invoice volumes may qualify for lower rates.
2. Days Outstanding
The longer an invoice takes to pay, the higher the fee.
3. Customer Credit Strength
Your customer’s reliability matters more than yours.
4. Industry Risk
Industries like staffing, security, and janitorial often receive competitive rates due to repeatable billing cycles.
5. Funding Frequency
Weekly or monthly funding can reduce overall fees.

FAQs
1. How do I calculate my invoice factoring rate?
To calculate your invoice factoring rate, enter your invoice amount and select your expected funding rate (for example, 1%, 2%, or 3%). The calculator will show your total cost and the amount you receive upfront. This helps you compare factoring options instantly so you can estimate how much funding your business can access.
2. What is a typical factoring rate?
Most small businesses see invoice factoring rates between 2% and 5%, depending on the customer’s credit strength, industry, and how long invoices take to pay. At American Funding Solutions, we keep rates simple and transparent – no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
3. How much will I receive upfront?
With AFS, most clients receive up to 90% of the invoice value upfront, and the remaining balance (minus your rate) is sent when your customer pays. The calculator on this page gives you a fast estimate of what your advance amount will look like.
4. Are there any hidden fees with factoring?
No. AFS does not charge hidden fees. You’ll pay a straightforward factoring rate – typically 2% to 4%.
5. Who uses invoice factoring?
Factoring is popular with:
staffing agencies
security guard companies
janitorial and cleaning services
promotional products
consulting firms
other B2B companies
If your business invoices other businesses and waits 30–60+ days to get paid, factoring can improve cash flow immediately.
6. Does factoring affect my credit?
No — invoice factoring is not a loan, so it does not impact your credit. Approval is primarily based on the creditworthiness of your customers, not your personal or business credit score.
7. How fast can I get funded?
Most new AFS clients receive funding within 24 hours of submitting invoices. Once you’re set up, funding is even faster.
8. Is factoring a good option for startups?
Yes. AFS specializes in helping startups and companies with limited credit history. Because approval is based on your customers’ ability to pay rather than your time in business, startups often qualify quickly.
9. What industries does AFS work with?
AFS supports a wide range of service-based businesses, including staffing, security, janitorial, transportation, consulting, and more. If you invoice other businesses and need faster cash flow, you’re likely a good fit.
