What is advance rate?
Advance Rate: The percentage of an invoice's face value the factor sends you upfront.
How it works
If your advance rate is 90% and you factor a $50,000 invoice, you receive $45,000 within 24 hours of verification. The remaining $5,000 is held in reserve until your customer pays. Advance rates for manufacturers typically range 80–95%, with higher rates for strong commercial or government receivables.
