Start-Up & Small Business Financing Challenges to Funding Growth

Start-ups face unique challenges with funding needs and limited sources. Building a start-up is an exciting venture, but getting it funded with venture capital or a business loan with very little business credit can be hard. And most factoring companies don’t understand revenue-based startup businesses and their business financing needs.
Per the CFPB, the nation’s 33 million small businesses employ nearly half of all private sector workers in the U.S. and account for the majority of new job creation. Operators of small and local businesses finance their enterprises through a variety of sources, including loans from banks, credit unions, and nonbank finance companies. Many of these businesses have a relationship with a local financial institution to help grow their business, but typically it is not enough.
However, the employee-owners at Bankers Factoring have lived through those challenges. We have a combined 50 years of personal experience funding start-ups through our non-recourse invoice factoring programs. Here, we share our thoughts and experiences on using A/R financing and purchase order funding to have your new business both survive and thrive.
