Executive Summary: Brokered Factoring
What it is: Brokered factoring is defined as a referral arrangement where IFXI evaluates a business's invoice portfolio and funding requirements, then places the relationship with the most appropriate factoring company in its partner network. The business pays nothing for the matching service — IFXI is compensated by the receiving factoring company.
The numbers: Cost to the business: free · Matching turnaround: 48–72 hours · Lender network: 25+ factoring partners across specialty verticals · Typical advance rates: 80%–95% depending on industry and lender · Standard fees: 1%–3% depending on matched program.
Key constraints: Brokered factoring is appropriate when IFXI's in-house programs are not the optimal fit — typically for highly specialized industries, very large facilities, or specific product structures. IFXI will always offer its own programs first and brokers to a partner only when the business is better served by a specialist.
The Fast Facts on Brokered Factoring
How does brokered factoring work?
Brokered factoring is defined as a matching service where IFXI evaluates your invoice portfolio and places your business with the most appropriate factoring company in the network. The match is based on your industry, invoice volume, customer base, and funding structure. You deal directly with the matched factoring company after placement.
How does a factoring broker get paid?
The short answer is that the factoring broker is paid by the lender — not by you. IFXI receives a referral fee or revenue-sharing arrangement from the factoring company that funds your invoices. Your factoring rate is set by the receiving company and is not inflated to cover the broker's compensation.
When should I use a brokered factoring service?
Brokered factoring is most useful when your industry, volume, or invoice structure requires a specialist that a general factoring company may not serve optimally. Examples include oil and gas royalty factoring, healthcare receivables with specific payer mix requirements, or very high-volume facilities above $5M/month.
Stop Letting Cash Flow Hold You Back
You've Been Declined by General Factoring Companies
Niche industries — oil and gas, government compliance, international trade, specialized healthcare billing — are sometimes declined or underserved by general factoring programs. A brokered referral routes your deal to a specialist with the exact industry expertise, compliance infrastructure, and advance structure your invoice type requires.
You're Not Sure Which Factoring Product Fits Your Business
Invoice factoring, PO financing, asset-based lending, and revenue-based financing can all solve different working capital problems. IFXI's brokered factoring evaluation helps identify which product matches your business model before you commit to a specific program.
You Want to Compare Multiple Offers Without Applying Everywhere
Applying to five factoring companies independently means five credit reviews, five sets of terms, and five follow-up conversations. Brokered factoring gives you a curated comparison within a single relationship — saving time and reducing the confusion of multiple competing pitches.

The Right Time to Start Brokered Factoring
Your Industry Is Too Niche for General Factors
Oil and gas royalties, cannabis B2B receivables, international trade receivables, and highly specialized healthcare billing require factoring partners with specific compliance infrastructure, not general-purpose factoring programs.
You Need a Larger Facility Than Standard Programs Offer
High-volume businesses with $2M–$10M+ in monthly AR sometimes need ABL facilities or large-format factoring programs that exceed standard factoring program limits. Brokered factoring routes those deals to institutional partners with the right facility size.
You Want Guidance, Not Just a Form to Fill Out
Brokered factoring is for business owners who want to understand what product fits their situation before signing anything — not just be pushed through an automated application flow. IFXI evaluates your situation and recommends the right structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Brokered factoring is defined as a matching and referral service where IFXI evaluates a business’s invoice portfolio and funding needs, then places the relationship with the most appropriate factoring company from its partner network. The business pays nothing for the matching service — IFXI is compensated by the receiving lender through a referral arrangement.
The short answer is that the factoring broker is paid by the factoring company — not by the business being funded. IFXI receives a referral fee or revenue share from the lender that funds the matched business. This arrangement is disclosed to all parties and does not inflate the factoring rate that the business receives.
The short answer is no — brokered factoring does not result in a higher factoring rate for the business. The broker fee is paid by the lender out of the lender’s margin, not added on top of your rate. In some cases, a broker match results in a better rate than a direct application because the match is made to a specialist program with more competitive pricing for your specific industry.
Brokered factoring is better when your industry, volume, or invoice structure is outside the core focus of a general factoring program. If IFXI’s in-house program is the best fit for your business, IFXI will offer it directly. A brokered referral is made only when a partner lender is clearly the stronger match for your specific situation.
The matching evaluation typically completes in 48–72 hours. After IFXI makes the introduction to the matched lender, that lender’s application and funding timeline applies — typically 24–72 hours for standard factoring programs. The brokered introduction does not add time to the funding process.
