Invoice factoring is a powerful tool to improve company liquidity, but in Mexico there are still many myths and misunderstandings about its use and accessibility. In this article, we’ll debunk some common ideas and present the realities of this financial solution.

What is Invoice Factoring?

Invoice factoring lets companies receive an advance on the value of their accounts receivable, turning credit sales into immediate cash. This practice is ideal for businesses looking to maintain a healthy cash flow without waiting for long customer payment terms.

Common Myths about Invoice Factoring

Myth 1: “Factoring is only for big companies”

Reality: It’s common to think only large companies or corporations can access invoice factoring due to their billing volume or financial stability. However, the reality is that this tool is accessible to individuals with business activity and companies of all sizes, including micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). In fact, invoice factoring can be a key solution for SMEs, since it allows them to keep operating uninterrupted despite their customers’ long payment terms.

At KredFeed, the requirements to access factoring are very simple and suitable for companies of all sizes and for individuals. Here are the most common ones:

• Have at least one year of operation registered with the SAT.

• Have invoiced at least $500,000 the previous year.

• Be a legal entity or an individual with business activity.

Myth 2: “The process is complicated and slow”

Reality: Many companies avoid factoring because they think it requires too much bureaucracy or complex paperwork. However, thanks to technology and digitalization, application processes are increasingly simple and fast. At KredFeed, for example, you can handle everything 100% online, with response times under 72 hours. This makes it easy for companies to get fast liquidity, without complications and without leaving their operation to visit a factoring company’s offices.

Myth 3: “It’s very expensive and has high fees”

Reality: There’s a perception that invoice factoring has excessive costs or hidden fees. While, as with any financial product, there are associated costs, these can be very competitive. The important thing is to compare options and understand the conditions. Remember that the more digitalized a process is, the lower the cost for the end customer.

KredFeed, for example, offers personalized interest rates from 1.6% to 3.4% per month, with no prepayment penalties — which helps optimize financial costs. Check out our factoring simulator at the top of our website.
