Frequently Asked Questions

What does a 3% factoring fee actually cost my load profit?
A 3% factoring fee on a $3,000 load ($90) can consume 30% or more of your profit if your margin is 10% ($300 profit). The per-load calculator shows factoring cost as a percentage of profit, not just revenue, revealing the true impact on your bottom line.
How do I calculate the true annual cost of factoring?
The implied annualized cost considers how much you pay to access cash early versus waiting for normal payment terms. For a 3% fee on 30-day terms, the annualized cost can exceed 36% when calculated as (fee / net cash) × (365 / payment days) × 100.
What is the difference between recourse and non-recourse factoring?
Recourse factoring means you are responsible if the broker doesn't pay. Non-recourse transfers that risk to the factoring company and typically costs 0.5-1% more. Use the calculator to compare the premium versus your risk tolerance.
When does factoring make financial sense for a trucking operation?
Factoring makes sense when early cash enables profitable opportunities (fuel discounts, new loads, equipment payments) that offset the cost, or when waiting 30-60 days creates operational risk. If the cost exceeds your profit margin, reconsider or negotiate better terms.
