Voxen insight
Invoice factoring is the most misunderstood product in Canadian business financing. Business owners think it means losing control of client relationships. In reality, modern factoring is invisible to your clients — they pay the same way, to the same account. The difference is you get paid today instead of in 60 days.
What is Invoice Factoring and How Does It Work?
Invoice factoring (also called accounts receivable financing) is when a funding company advances you cash against your outstanding invoices. You get 85–95% of the invoice value upfront, and the remainder (minus fees) when your client pays. It is not a loan — it is accelerating money you have already earned.
Which Industries Benefit Most from Factoring?
Trucking companies, construction firms, logistics providers, and manufacturers — any business that invoices clients on 30, 60, or 90-day terms. If you are waiting weeks to get paid, factoring eliminates that cash flow gap immediately.
Invoice Factoring vs. Traditional Bank Loans
Unlike bank loans, factoring does not add debt to your balance sheet. Approval is based on your clients' creditworthiness, not yours. This makes it ideal for newer businesses or those with limited credit history. No collateral required beyond the invoices themselves.

Frequently asked questions
Will my clients know I am using invoice factoring?
With non-notification factoring, your clients are unaware. They pay into a designated account as usual. Voxen offers both notification and non-notification options depending on your preference.
What advance rate can I expect?
Most factoring companies advance 85-95% of the invoice value upfront. Voxen offers up to 95% advance rates. The remaining balance (minus a small fee) is released when your client pays.
Is invoice factoring a loan?
No. Factoring is the sale of receivables at a discount, not a loan. It does not add debt to your balance sheet, making it attractive for businesses that want to maintain a clean balance sheet.
What industries use invoice factoring most?
Trucking, construction, staffing, manufacturing, and logistics are the top industries. Any B2B business that invoices clients on 30-90 day terms can benefit.
