With invoice factoring, you sell an unpaid invoice to a factoring company at a discount. The factor advances you most of the invoice value immediately (the advance rate), then collects the full amount from your customer when the invoice is due. The difference — minus the factor fee — is paid to you as the reserve release.
Factor fees are typically charged as a percentage of the invoice face value for each 30-day period the invoice remains outstanding. A 3% fee on a 30-day invoice is straightforward; on a 60-day invoice it becomes 6% — which is why collecting quickly lowers your cost.
The annualized rate helps you compare factoring against a line of credit or other short-term financing. High annualized rates don't always mean factoring is wrong — it depends on your alternatives and the value of getting cash today.
