Invoice factoring
Invoice factoring is a financing arrangement where a third-party factor buys your unpaid invoices at a discount and advances you most of the invoice value immediately. The factor then collects payment from your customer and remits any reserve minus their fee. Unlike a loan, factoring is a sale of an asset, so your credit matters less than your customers' payment history.
This structure fits Mount Pleasant's service-heavy economy particularly well. Contractors renovating homes along the Shem Creek corridor, logistics firms serving the Port of Charleston via Coleman Boulevard, and staffing agencies placing workers at hospitality venues around Patriots Point often invoice commercial clients who pay on net-30 or net-60 terms. Factoring bridges that gap so you can accept the next project without waiting for prior invoices to clear.

Imagine a mechanical contractor based near Hungryneck Boulevard who just completed a three-week HVAC retrofit for a retail plaza. The property manager's invoice won't be paid for 45 days, but the contractor needs to purchase materials for two new jobs starting next week. By factoring that invoice, the contractor receives the majority of the invoice value immediately, orders supplies, and keeps crews working without interruption.
