AR Factoring breathes life back into Texas Based Freight Carrier

By Wade Henderson

Can you imagine working really hard to make ends meet and cutting costs everywhere to make yourself profitable and your get a registered letter in the mail from your bank demanding their Line of Credit to be paid off within 14 days?

This is a real event for a Texas based Freight Carrier recently. After a brief panic attack, the CEO called his bank and the account manager told him that due to revisions of the banks risk structures are laid out, he has no choice but to pull the financing. He has 2 weeks from the receipt of the letter to repay the loan of $1.0 million. Upon dealing with a Professional Commercial Finance Broker, not only was the loan paid off at the bank on time, but the trucking company had a new Line of Credit of $1.75 million now.

I can not tell you how many times I have seen this situation happen to companies over the last 2 years. Most people are very eager to see what the new programs that the US Government is rolling out, but banks are still calling their loans, and denying even more applications.

If your company has a need of liquidity, and not debt, do your self a favor and speak with a Professional Commercial Finance Broker as they will have the answers your bank will not, and odds are they will not even tell you about the other options that are out there.

It really does not matter if you are in Canada or United States; it is the same story all over. Commercial Lenders do vary in regards to the products they carry and the strengths they posses in the various industries. Just because a lender is good in Commercial Equipment Loans does not mean they can handle you Line of Credit in your trucking company. Commercial Finance Brokers have the experience to know who does what the best.

Many Commercial Finance Brokers are current with the most recent changes and offerings on the market today ranging from Commercial Mortgages, Commercial Equipment Finance, Export Finance, Purchase Order Finance, Lines of Credit and Accounts Receivable Factoring. - 15246
