What will my customers think?

For some people this question is their most important issue. Generally most finance companies will want the customers (or debtors) to remit directly to them. In today’s environment, where factoring is more widely known, this seldom causes a problem. However, well managed finance companies like CFG will typically have a Non-Notification program available for those situations where it is warranted. Either way, factoring clients should take the time to inform their customers that a change with remittance will be taking place and that it is planned. Good business people know the value of open account terms and the importance of maintaining and enhancing terms. Factoring can help to ensure that everyone is paid on time. If clients, customers, and suppliers all cooperate, everybody benefits.
