Get What You’re Owed Today!

Why wait until after the 20th of the month following to get your invoices paid? With factoring you can receive 80% of the amount owing immediately and the 20% balance once your customer makes payment to us.


What could be simpler or more convenient. Why not turn your credit sales into cash!


So why aren’t you factoring?


People tell me it’s expensive. Rubbish!

The cost of factoring is made up of two components. Funding and administration
  - - Funding typically costs 12% pa (cheaper than a typical overdraft).
  - - - Admin. is dependent on the type of factoring facility required, the size of your ledger, the volume of invoices and spread of debtors etc. The cost is often less than the time and money you are already spending doing these things in-house.


My customers will think I’m in financial difficulty. Yeah, nah!

Factoring provides working capital just the way a bank overdraft does. Factoring is smart, it is not a loan that you need to re-pay (your customers pay it for you). Tell your customers the truth, you’re factoring with CFF and getting a better deal than what the bank offered!


Factoring, isn’t that a last resort option? Nothing further from the truth!

We can’t help businesses for whom the writing is on the wall. All we would do is prolong the inevitable. We would rather partner with a successful company as opposed to a company on its last legs. Our clients are those who are able to grow their business by increasing turnover and profitability and can provide more certainty to their own suppliers and creditors.


I’ll lose contact with my customers. Actually, you’ll have more time to engage with customers!

We handle account queries, prepare and send out statements, do the banking and receipting, follow up on late payers etc. These are the things that can result in you spending too much time “in the business” and not enough time “on the business” developing new business relationships and selling more goods and services.
