• Which Is The Best Factoring Company

    This short video answers "which is the best factoring company?" as best we can!Which is the best factoring company?

    We get asked that question a lot - surely it's a simple answer?

    The Best Factoring Company

    It sounds like a really simple question, but the answer is a lot more complicated than just stating a single factoring company name, that stands out as being a "head and shoulders" above all the others - and there are currently over a hundred different UK based providers to choose from.

    As the video says, the concept of the best depends upon the metrics by which you want to measure them and the type and size of the business that wants the factoring service. Not all funders will be able (or willing) to help all prospects. Some deal with startups, others don't, some take on companies in CVA, others decline them - some deal with construction sector companies whilst others will not. The first issue is finding the list of factors that are able to help companies in your circumstances, sector and of your size.

    The Issues With Online Comparisons & Awards

    A while back I wrote a piece looking for the best invoice finance company via an online search, the issues set out in that article are very similar to those pertaining to funding the best factor. One of the biggest problems is that you will find many lists online - purporting to list the best factors, however, the metrics behind the list may not stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever - it could just be those that are on their panel.

    You could use awards as a benchmark, I published another piece which reported on the Best Factoring & Invoice Discounting company, according to one set of awards that are highly coveted within our sector. Again though, the metrics behind selection are unlikely to be identical to those you might use to determine the best fit for you.

    Using Price To Determine The Best?

    If you resort to just comparing providers based on price, you miss out on the importance of service differences, but our factoring pricing research does show dramatic swings between the cheapest and most expensive factoring quotes. We are able to use our price research results in order to help guide our clients to the cheapest available offerings. We also have research regarding the quality of their service offerings.
