Inventory financing is a type of asset-based financing where working capital is provided to a company through accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment as a collateral. Accounts receivable financing or factoring use outstanding accounts receivable as a means of financing. Both methods are usually used as a quick access to a working capital, money you use for daily operations. This can be alternative to a bank loan especially if you own a start-up company. There are other financing companies that can offer you factoring services and really help you manage a positive cash flow.
Pledging accounts receivable means that you use your accounts receivable that are not paid yet as a collateral to obtain a loan but you are still responsible for collecting a loan as a business owner. Lender picks accounts receivable they want to accept as a collateral. Accounts receivable that are overdue or ones in which you extended the credit for too long are very likely to be refused by the lender. New invoices are more valuable than the the old ones. I other words the easier is to collect a bill the more valuable it is. Lenders usually loan 70% to 80% value the invoice.
