What is factoring? A visual explainer.

Factoring means turning money you have already earned into cash today. It is not a personal loan, and it is built around your brand deal, not revolving debt.

What is factoring

Factoring is cash today for money a brand already owes you for work you did. You are not taking out a loan, you get most of your receivable now minus a one time fee, and the brand pays the factoring company (outfloww) on the normal due date.

How factoring works

A brand owes you money later - outfloww helps you access it now.

Factoring vs Loan

They can both provide cash, but they work very differently.

With factoring

  • Built on cash you already earned, but waiting for
  • Not revolving debt or impacting your credit score
  • Clear fee structure before you accept
  • Outfloww pays you, then our responsibility to collect from the brand

With many loans

  • Based on borrowing money that you have to pay back
  • Can impact your credit score
  • May have compounding interest, late fees, and other hidden costs
  • It is your responsibility to pay back the loan once the brand pays you
