What businesses qualify for invoice factoring?
Any business that invoices other businesses (or government agencies) on payment terms, net 30, net 60, net 90, can typically qualify for invoice factoring. That includes trucking companies, staffing agencies, manufacturers, wholesalers, contractors, and service firms. The key qualification isn't your credit; it's your customers' ability to pay. If you're sitting on unpaid invoices while bills come due, every week you wait is working capital you can't use. Quordx Capital matches businesses like yours to factoring companies from a 50+ lender network: free, with one short application.

Who qualifies for invoice factoring, and who doesn't
Factoring companies buy your unpaid invoices and advance you typically 70-90% of the invoice value upfront, with the balance (minus their fee) paid when your customer pays. Because the factor collects from your customer, approval hinges on three things:
- B2B or B2G invoices. You must invoice businesses or government entities. Consumer-facing businesses (restaurants, retail shops) generally don't qualify: their customers pay at the register, not on terms. - Creditworthy customers. The factor underwrites your clients, not you. Invoices to stable, established companies are easy to fund; invoices to shaky payers are not. - Clean invoices. The work must be completed or goods delivered, with no major disputes or existing liens against your receivables.
Your own credit score matters far less than in traditional lending, which is why factoring works for newer businesses and owners with challenged credit. Industries that factor heavily include transportation, staffing, oilfield services, manufacturing, distribution, and commercial construction.
Funding options if you invoice on terms
A/R financing / invoice factoring: Best for B2B businesses with slow-paying customers who need cash now: advances typically run 70-90% of invoice value.
Business line of credit: Best for companies that want revolving access to $10K-$250K+ and prefer to keep collections in-house; you pay interest only on what you draw.
Working capital loan: Best for a one-time cash gap of $5K-$500K when factoring isn't a fit: short-term, fast to fund.
Purchase order financing: Best for businesses that need capital to fulfill a large order before they can even generate the invoice.
How Quordx Capital Works
You complete one application in about 5 minutes and upload basics like bank statements and ID. Quordx Capital's matching process-powered platform reads your profile, industry, invoice volume, customer base, and identifies 3-7 best-fit lenders from a network of 50+, ranked by approval probability. Most decisions come back within 24-48 hours, and funding typically lands in 3-7 business days.
What to Expect
If you invoice creditworthy businesses, expect real options even if your personal credit is rough: factors care about who owes you, not your FICO. Expect honest math, too: factoring costs more than a bank line, and Quordx Capital will tell you if a cheaper product fits better. The service is free to you, there's no obligation, and asking doesn't commit you to anything. Lenders pay Quordx Capital only when a deal funds.
