Oilfield Invoice Factoring
Invoice factoring accelerates your cash flow by providing you with a cash advance on the B2B invoices of your choosing. You’re free to spend the cash on whatever your business needs. The balance is cleared when your client pays their invoice, so there’s no debt to pay back.
What are the Benefits of Oilfield Factoring?
If you operate an oilfield service business, you’re all too familiar with the lengthy waits for payment. Particularly if you serve some of the larger oil and gas companies that require multiple signatures before your invoices can be paid, the process can easily take 90 days. While these contracts can be lucrative and help your business grow, it no doubt leaves you with cash flow gaps and bills of your own to pay in the interim.
When you partner with an oilfield factoring company like Viva, it’s easier to take on these projects and even accept more work from high-value clients knowing that you’ll be paid right away. Viva also frees you from tedious collections processes and chasing payments, so you can focus on the core areas of your business.
It’s also much easier to qualify for oil and gas factoring than it is to qualify for traditional bank loans because the creditworthiness of your clients is more of a consideration than yours. Rest assured, you can still choose which clients you serve. Viva will run a quick check to confirm the level of creditworthiness, so you can make informed decisions about the contracts you accept and offers lines well into the millions.
