It is widely believed that all factoring companies are pretty much the same, and that they all operate in the same way. That belief used be true, but no longer.

As a result, our clients enjoy the benefits of a 100% paperless, web-based invoice factoring experience, where all parties are connected in real-time on the internet, resulting in the fastest invoice funding in the invoice factoring industry.

The Other Factoring Companies

Invoice factoring is a form of accounts receivable financing for small business owners who are unable to obtain conventional commercial bank financing. Photon Funding, LLC is the only modern invoice factoring company. It utilizes the latest in information technology. Other invoice factoring companies are "Old School," meaning their invoice factoring operations are based upon the same ancient, paper-based factoring model which has remained unchanged since its inception centuries ago.

How "Old School" Factoring Companies operate:

The small business client sends paper invoices to the factoring company by snail-mail, overnight mail, fax, etc. The factoring company, which is swimming in its clients' paperwork, engages in the manual, time-consuming, tedious process of checking the collection performance of the client's previously factored invoices, checking the credit of the specific customers, and verifying the new invoices.

The factoring company stamps or stickers the client's paper invoices with factoring notices and re-mails them, usually by snail-mail, to the factoring clients' customers for payment. Within 30 days, the factoring company's collection department begins its incessant phone calls to the customers' accounts payable dept hammering them for payment.
