Invoice factoring
Invoice factoring is a financing tool that sells your unpaid invoices to a third party at a discount in exchange for fast cash. Instead of waiting weeks for customers to pay, you receive funds within days. The factoring company then collects payment directly from your customer. This approach suits businesses with strong invoices but tight cash flow, common among distributors and service providers along Routes 1 & 9 and near the Linden Airport industrial corridor.
Swallowgate Lending Group is a licensed commercial loan broker serving Linden and the surrounding Union County area. We evaluate your receivables, match you with reputable factoring partners, and guide the application from start to finish. Because we work with multiple funders, we can tailor terms to your industry and customer base rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all product.
Invoice factoring
Linden's mix of logistics firms, manufacturers, and wholesale distributors often ship goods or complete projects before receiving payment. A trucking company delivering freight from the Tremley Point docks may invoice a client net-60, but fuel and driver wages come due today. Invoice factoring in Linden bridges that gap without adding debt to your balance sheet.
Factoring also scales with sales. As your invoices grow, so does your funding line. There are no fixed monthly payments, and approval hinges on your customers' creditworthiness rather than your own credit score. For businesses rebuilding after a slow season or managing rapid growth, that flexibility proves invaluable.
How it works
We start with a brief conversation about your invoicing cycle, customer payment history, and immediate cash needs. Next, we gather sample invoices and basic business documents. Our team then presents options from our network of factoring partners, explaining advance rates, reserve accounts, and collection procedures in plain language. Once you select a fit, we coordinate paperwork and stay available as your liaison. You continue running your business while the funder handles collections.

A Linden-based packaging supplier ships materials to mid-Atlantic manufacturers on net-45 terms. When a large order depletes inventory, the owner needs to restock immediately but cannot wait six weeks for receivables to clear. Swallowgate Lending Group brokers a factoring arrangement that advances funds within 48 hours, letting the supplier fulfill new orders and maintain production schedules. The factoring company collects directly from the manufacturer, and the supplier receives the reserve balance once payment clears.
