Invoice factoring
Invoice factoring sells your outstanding B2B or B2G invoices to a factoring company at a discount, giving you cash today instead of waiting weeks or months for customers to pay. The factor advances most of the invoice value immediately, collects payment directly from your customer, then remits the balance minus a fee. Unlike a loan, factoring creates no new debt on your balance sheet. It converts an existing asset into liquidity.
Greenwich companies often serve corporate clients and municipal contracts with extended payment terms. A marketing consultancy working with Fortune 500 headquarters in town or a landscaping contractor maintaining Greenwich Point Park may issue invoices with net-60 or net-90 terms. Factoring those invoices through arrangements Harbormist Business Capital brokers means you fund operations today rather than stretching credit lines or delaying vendor payments.

### Greenwich Invoice Factoring in Action
Consider a staffing agency placing IT contractors with hedge funds and family offices in Greenwich. The agency carries two weeks of payroll before clients remit payment 45 days later. By factoring those invoices, the agency receives an advance within 24 hours, pays contractors on time, and maintains the reputation essential in a relationship-driven market.
Invoice factoring
Invoice factoring differs from a business line of credit or term loan because the factor purchases your invoices outright rather than lending against them. You receive immediate cash without incurring debt, and creditworthiness hinges more on your customers' payment history than your own balance sheet. For newer Greenwich businesses or those recovering from a lean quarter, factoring offers access to capital that a bank might decline.
Harbormist Business Capital also brokers working capital loans, equipment financing, and SBA 7(a) programs when those structures offer better flexibility of terms. We compare every option so you choose the path that fits your invoice volume, customer base, and growth plans.
