You know how challenging it can be to keep your trucking business afloat and your freight brokerage booming at the same time. As much as you want to focus solely on finding loads and keeping your trucks moving, you have to deal with managing cash flow, paying carriers, and collecting from brokers. What if there was a way to strengthen the connection between your factoring and brokerage operations? With bill factoring, you can unlock the power of collaboration in the trucking industry.
How Factoring Fuels Growth for Freight Brokers
As a freight broker, teaming up with a factoring company is one of the smartest moves you can make for your business. Factoring provides the fuel you need to accelerate growth and open up new opportunities.
With factoring, you get paid for your loads immediately instead of waiting 30-90 days for your carriers to pay you. This means you have cash on hand to pay carriers faster, giving you a competitive advantage to attract more carriers to work with your brokerage. You can also take on higher volume, increasing your profits.
Factoring also improves your cash flow, so you have the working capital to expand your operations. You can invest in marketing to land new shippers, update your technology to improve efficiency, bring on new team members to increase capacity, or pursue business growth strategies like mergers and acquisitions.

The Benefits of Partnering With a Factoring Company
Partnering with a factoring company like HMD Financial is a game changer for any freight brokerage. Here are a few of the major benefits you’ll experience:
You’ll get paid faster. Factoring companies purchase your invoices and advance you a large portion of the amount owed right away. No more waiting 30, 60 or 90 days to get paid. This accelerated cash flow means you can pay carriers quicker and take on more loads.
More time to focus on your business. Chasing down payments from customers takes time and resources away from growing your brokerage. Factoring handles collecting from customers so you can focus on sales, finding new clients and managing carrier relationships.
Improved carrier relationships. With factoring enabling you to pay carriers faster, you’ll build a reputation for reliable and quick payments. Carriers will be eager to work with you, allowing you to find capacity even during tight markets. This also leads to more consistent coverage and higher truck fill rates.
A safety net during industry fluctuations. The trucking industry is volatile, and factoring provides a level of financial security. If a customer defaults or delays payment, the factoring company is responsible as they have already purchased the invoice. Your cash flow remains steady even when the market shifts.
