What is Quick Pay?

Quick pay is a payment option brokers offer that is typically faster than the traditional net 30 day payment of service period. However, quick pay does tend to come with some disadvantages that far outweigh factoring services.

Quick pay offers a fast and convient way of being paid without having any contractual commitments. It’s not as effective as factoring for many of reasons.

What is Freight Factoring?

Freight factoring is when a factoring company purchases your freight invoice for a discounted rate in exchange for faster payments. You should know that there are two types of factoring: recourse factoring and non-recourse factoring.

Non-recourse factoring is when a factoring company purchases your invoice for a discounted rate and assumes the risk in the event that the broker or client does not pay for the invoice. Non-recourse factoring typically offers less for your invoice than recourse factoring does – however the stability far outweighs the risk.
