Change customer or business model,, as it's going to get tougher well before it gets better..... 30 days EOM shouldn't need funding (IMO).....

Don't let them do that to you. The longest you should wait is 28 days. After that you may charge them interest. Best thing to do is find another source of work. 60 days is totally out of order. I the 30years I worked as a self implied haulier nobody took that long. Even big companies like Davies Turner and Blue Water Shipping,, noore than one month. You do not need to work for companies like that, you can afford even a slightly lower rate if paid in good time. Companies like Goldstar will pay you within a month even weekly at a reasonable rate.

well that's very unfortunate .
But when paying for fuel weekly you need paying monthly 👍
I know it's hard to to do but l personally only work for the ones that pay good 💰💰👏
And we all have hard times sometimes and after wait for payments which sometimes you can ablige but not all time 💪💪

my customers pay well, however when they have the same problem, their customer's not paying them for 60 days it's a knock on effect...bring it down to 30 days and we may all get a chance to pay the bills and leave a bit in the pot!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's a slippery pole.... You end up giving them your profit.... Got a quote from Skipton.. on the face of it it looked good but the extra charges and disbursements were horrendous... And you never get out of it..

If you have to factor pack the job in as they will almost definitely want a directors guarantee have interest and fees applied then wait 60 days for payment I don’t think so

Try Satago selective factoring. You only need to factor the invoices you need funds from. Good if you just need help though cash flow issues.

I know it seems like the best way out but it really isn’t, the profit margin in haulage really isn’t big enough to pay you and a factoring company and if your profit margin is big enough then you’re doing something very wrong

my point was if he’s making a good profit but needs to use a factoring service then he’s doing something wrong. If you’ve a big profit margin then you’re handling your finances all wrong was my point 🤷‍♂️

Skipton's.
I put my invoice in on Sunday evening I'm paid by Monday midday.
Though you do have to check with the companies you do work for as a lot don't like factoring. It works well for those 60 day invoices.

Although Factoring is a way of funding your invoices there are some variances in the service.

1) Full Factoring - You get paid up front against your invoices and the lender completes the credit control as the lender.
2) Shadow Factoring- same a above but the lender does the credit control control in your business name so looks like an extension of your business.
3) CHOCS Facility - stands for Client Handles Own Credit Control. The lender provides funding only and you as a business complete the credit control.

After this you can look at Full Confidential Facilities which is a relationship between you and the lender only.

Factoring services can be bespoke to your business and you can go from Pay As You Go to Financing every invoice.
