Factoring for Telecom and Wireless Contractors

What is Telecom Factoring?

Telecom factoring provides companies with a working capital solution by turning invoices into same-day cash. The process works by selling your receivables (invoices) to a factoring company in exchange for immediate payment. The cash-flow gap caused by slow-paying customers is eliminated. Telecom factoring is a debt-free financing solution that gives you cash to pay your bills, meet payroll, invest in new resources and more.

Since 1994, TCI Business Capital has provided invoice factoring for telecom and wireless contractors. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote and consultation on how telecom factoring can be the source of cash for your business.

Accounts Receivable Financing Provides Immediate Benefits

Accounts receivable financing is a financial solution many telecom and wireless contractors use to bridge cash-flow gaps. TCI Business Capital purchases a client’s invoices to its customers, providing a competitive advance on the invoice amount. The cash is deposited directly into our client’s bank account within 24 hours. Once the invoice is paid by the customer, TCI Business Capital pays our client the remaining balance, minus a small fee.

Telecom and wireless contractors turn to invoice factoring for telecom financing because they need working capital for their businesses. Slow-paying customers cause cash-flow stress. It’s challenging to wait 30 days or more for customer payment when bills such as payroll, insurance, and daily operating costs are due. Contractors with slow-paying customers rely on factoring to keep their businesses going and meet daily operational expenses.

Instead of obtaining a business loan or business line of credit, telecom and wireless contractors choose factoring for cash in 24 hours. With banks, it takes months to get financing. Factoring is a quick and excellent alternative to banks, and the amount of available capital grows as the business grows.

Accounts Receivable Financing Improves Cash Flow for Telecom and Wireless Contractors

Telecom and wireless are among the most competitive industries across North America, especially in the United States. Over the last few years, there’s been a dramatic shift in the landscape as xLECs consolidate, wireless carriers update their networks to improve ARPU, and cable operators seek to completely replace local exchange carriers with robust data, VoIP and video services.

All segments of the telecommunications market are undergoing technology shifts, and new nontraditional players are creating further disruption. More fiber, new spectrum availability and ever-changing specifications such as 5G and Distributed Access Architecture, are feeding changes in core and access networks.

As a result of the evolving landscape, telecom and wireless contractors face both challenges and opportunities. For example, many wireless service providers are cash-strapped due to costs and competition, yet they’re making a new investment in their network as they seek to improve QoS for VoLTE and migrate to 5G. As a result, payment terms to contractors have been pushed out, often 60 days or more. Longer payment terms put business stress on telecom and wireless contractors, who often face immediate expenses when taking on projects.

Accounts receivable financing improves cash flow for all types of telecom and wireless contractors by providing immediate payment on customer invoices. Rather than waiting 30 days or more for payment, accounts receivable factoring provides immediate cash.
