Accounts receivable are money that is owed to the business by its customers.Having high-quality receivables lets the business get cash to meet unexpected needs.Receivables can be used in two ways to acquire cash quickly.First,receivables can be pledged as collateral for a commercial loan.Depending on the finance company,customer payments on pledged receivables may be collected either by the owner and forwarded to the lender,or may be directly collected by the lender.Second,receivables can be sold to a finance company in a process called factoring.A factoring company will usually pay about 75 to 80 percent of the total amount that can be collected.The factor then collects the receivables.The difference between the gross amount of the receivables and the amount that is ultimately collected is the factor's profit margin.Pledging receivables to a commercial lender is usually less expensive than factoring.When receivables are pledged,the business is liable only for the borrowed amount and accrued interest on the loan,regardless of the amount that is subsequently collected from the customers.This is an opportunity to collect it all.On the other hand,a commercial lender will only loan one-half of the amount that can be collected.
