Executive Summary: Accounts Receivable Financing
What it is: Accounts receivable financing is defined as a working capital strategy where businesses convert unpaid commercial invoices into immediate cash by selling them to IFXI. It is not a loan, does not require hard-asset collateral, and does not affect your credit profile or financial covenants.
The numbers: Advance rate: 80%–95% of eligible invoice face value · Funding speed: 24 hours from approval · Factoring fee: 1%–3% per period · Estimated minimum monthly volume: ~$50,000 · No personal credit score requirement.
Key constraints: Only B2B commercial invoices qualify — consumer receivables are ineligible. Invoices past due more than 90 days, disputed receivables, and accounts with existing UCC liens from another lender are excluded. The cash conversion cycle must align with the invoice terms submitted.
The Fast Facts on Accounts Receivable Financing
How fast does accounts receivable financing work?
The short answer is 48–72 hours from a complete application for first-time funding. IFXI reviews debtor credit quality and invoice documentation, then advances 80%–95% of eligible receivables via ACH or wire. Ongoing submissions fund same-day before the daily cutoff.
What does accounts receivable financing cost?
AR financing fees run 1%–3% of invoice face value per factoring period. The exact rate depends on monthly volume, customer payment terms, and debtor credit quality. No origination fees, no application charges, and no hidden deductions on reserve release.
How is AR financing different from a bank loan?
The short answer is that accounts receivable financing is not a loan — you are selling commercial receivables you've already earned, not borrowing against future revenue. No debt appears on your balance sheet and no personal credit score is required for approval.
Stop Letting Cash Flow Hold You Back
Your Cash Conversion Cycle Is Longer Than Your Operating Cycle
A 30-day delivery cycle and a 60-day billing cycle means you are running on a 90-day float while payroll, materials, and overhead are due monthly. AR financing collapses the cash conversion gap by converting approved invoices into same-day cash.
You've Maxed Out Your Bank Credit Line Without Running Out of Receivables
Business credit lines cap at historical revenue and collateral values. Your AR portfolio grows with every new customer you land — and IFXI's AR financing capacity scales with your invoice volume, not your past year's financials.
You Want Working Capital Without a Bank Covenant Package
Business lines of credit come with financial maintenance covenants, annual reviews, and conditions that can restrict growth decisions. AR financing gives you liquidity based on your receivables — no covenant compliance, no ratio tests, no bank approval cycle required.

Your customer remits payment directly to IFXI. After payment clears, the reserve is released to your account minus the factoring fee. No hidden charges — the disclosed fee is the complete cost of capital.
What to Expect: Your Funding Timeline
| Stage | Typical Timeframe |
|---|---|
| Free application submitted | Day 0 — Under 10 minutes |
| Initial review & pre-approval | Day 0–1 — Often same day |
| Account setup & UCC-1 filing | Day 1–3 |
| First receivable funded | Day 3 after approval |

| Reserve rebate released | After customer payment clears |
Important Notes
- ✓Same-day funding requires invoice submission before the daily cutoff — typically 11:00 AM EST.
- ✓A UCC-1 filing on your accounts receivable is standard. It does not affect other assets, real estate, or equipment.
- ✓Debtor creditworthiness drives advance rates and fee tiers more than any other single factor in your account structure.
- ✓Minimum monthly invoice volume runs approximately $50,000/month, though requirements vary by program and industry.
The Right Time to Start Accounts Receivable Financing
You're Landing Enterprise Clients With Net-60 or Net-90 Terms
Fortune 500 and large enterprise clients often demand extended payment terms as a condition of doing business. AR financing converts those net-60 or net-90 terms into 24-hour advances without renegotiating the client relationship.
Your Bank Review Is Coming Up and You Need to Deleverage
Because AR financing is a receivable sale rather than a credit draw, it does not increase your debt-to-equity ratio or trigger financial maintenance covenants. It improves working capital without touching your credit facility.
You Need Liquidity That Scales With Revenue Growth
Unlike a fixed credit line, AR financing scales automatically with your invoice volume. As you add customers and grow revenue, your available capital grows with it — no application amendments, no new bank approvals required.
The IFXI Difference
A Facility That Resizes With Your Ledger
Availability moves with your receivables each month instead of sitting at a fixed limit set last year. No minimum draw, no unused line fee and no multi-year commitment holding you to it.
Borrowing Base Math You Can Reproduce
The eligibility rules, the advance rate and the 1%–3% cost are written down at the start. You can calculate your own availability before you request it, with no audit charges or covenant fees arriving later.
A Reviewer, Not a Credit Committee
Your US-based account manager knows your customer concentration and your seasonal curve, so a spike in receivables gets handled the same week rather than waiting on a quarterly review.
Transparent Costs for Accounts Receivable Financing
| What to Expect in Costs | What Affects the Rate | National vs. Local Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| Advance rate: 80%–95% of invoice face value advanced upfront. Factoring fee: 1%–3% of invoice value, assessed when collected. Reserve: Remaining 5%–20% held until customer payment, then released minus the fee. | Monthly volume: Higher invoice volume earns lower rates. Payment terms: Net-30 costs less than net-90. Debtor credit: Enterprise and creditworthy customers earn better advance rates. Industry: Some sectors carry documentation complexity that affects rate. | National factors like IFXI offer standardized pricing, multi-industry coverage, and a digital submission process that handles high-volume AR portfolios efficiently. Local factors may offer familiarity but often lack the scale to handle enterprise AR programs or multi-debtor portfolios. |

Typical Funding Scenarios
Typical Projects
How Companies Structure AR Financing
Accounts receivable financing is sized to your ledger, not to a single invoice. These are the three structures IFXI writes, and what each one asks of your reporting.
Distributors & manufacturers
Full Ledger AR Facility
Your whole receivables book backs a revolving facility that grows as sales grow. You draw what you need instead of selling invoice by invoice.
Typical AR balance$500,000 – $5,000,000
Customer termsNet-30 to Net-60
Advance rate85% – 90% of eligible AR
Estimated fee1% – 1.75% per 30 days
ReportingMonthly aging and borrowing base certificate
What you submit
✓ Detailed AR aging with customer concentration
✓ Accounts payable aging for the same period
✓ Year-end financials and interim statements
✓ UCC search results and any lender payoff letters
What reduces availability: invoices over 90 days, intercompany billing and credit balances drop out of the eligible base before the advance is calculated.
Companies with one or two large accounts
Selective Customer Financing
You finance only the receivables of your slowest-paying customers and keep the rest of the ledger with your bank or collect it yourself.
Typical financed balance$100,000 – $750,000
Customer termsNet-60 to Net-90
Advance rate80% – 88%
Estimated fee1.75% – 2.5% per 30 days
ReportingPer-customer aging, no full ledger required
What you submit
✓ Aging limited to the customers being financed
✓ Master agreements or supply contracts with those accounts
✓ Twelve months of payment history for each one
✓ Intercreditor consent if a bank holds a blanket lien
What delays funding: an existing bank lien over all assets. Your bank must sign an intercreditor agreement carving out the financed receivables before anything funds.
Seasonal & high-growth businesses
Seasonal Ramp Facility
Your receivables triple in the busy quarter and shrink after. The facility is sized to peak season so working capital does not cap how much you can ship.
Peak AR balance$250,000 – $3,000,000
Active months3 – 6 per year
Advance rate85% – 92% in season
Estimated fee1.25% – 2% per 30 days
Off-season costNo minimums when the line is unused
What you submit
✓ Two years of monthly sales showing the seasonal curve
✓ Current purchase orders or contracted volume for the season
✓ AR aging from last peak and last trough
✓ Inventory position if goods ship before billing
What to plan for: facility sizing takes a week and should be done before your season starts. Applying mid-peak means the review happens while you are already short.
If your receivables sit behind progress billing, insurance claims or international buyers, those are assessed differently. Note the billing type in the quote form above and a specialist will route it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Accounts receivable financing is defined as a working capital strategy where a business sells its approved commercial invoices to IFXI in exchange for an immediate cash advance of 80%–95%. IFXI collects from the customer directly and releases the reserve minus the factoring fee once payment clears. It is not a loan — no debt appears on your balance sheet.
The short answer is yes — accounts receivable financing and invoice factoring describe the same core transaction: selling commercial receivables to a funding partner for an immediate advance. The terms are used interchangeably, though AR financing sometimes also refers to revolving credit facilities secured by receivables rather than outright receivable sales.
Accounts receivable financing advance rates run 80%–95% of approved invoice face value. The exact rate depends on customer credit quality, monthly volume, invoice payment terms, and industry risk profile. Enterprise debtors with strong payment histories earn advance rates at the top of the range.
The short answer is that the primary advantage is immediate liquidity without debt — you get 80%–95% of earned revenue within 24 hours with no loan on your balance sheet. The primary consideration is the factoring fee of 1%–3%, which represents the cost of accelerating your cash conversion cycle versus waiting for customer payment.
The short answer is no — under a notification factoring arrangement, your customers are informed that payment should be remitted to IFXI. Most commercial clients are familiar with factoring and the remittance change is a routine administrative update, not a disruption to the business relationship.
