Invoice Factoring Designed Around Your Industry

Not every business has the same revenue cycle, payment terms, operating expenses, or accounts receivable structure.

That is why industry experience matters when evaluating an invoice factoring program.

LMC works with businesses that invoice commercial customers and may need working capital before those invoices are paid. Depending on the industry and the quality of the receivables, eligible invoices may be used to provide access to working capital.

Common uses for factoring proceeds can include:

  • Funding payroll
  • Purchasing materials and inventory
  • Paying suppliers
  • Covering operating expenses
  • Taking on larger customer contracts
  • Supporting business expansion
  • Managing seasonal cash-flow fluctuations
  • Bridging extended payment terms
  • Maintaining day-to-day working capital

The goal is simple: help businesses put their accounts receivable to work instead of allowing unpaid invoices to restrict growth.

Industries We Serve

Invoice Factoring for just about every industry

Construction Companies

Construction companies often have significant expenses before receiving payment for completed work. Payroll, subcontractors, materials, equipment, insurance, fuel, and other project costs can create substantial working-capital requirements.

Invoice factoring for construction companies can help eligible contractors access working capital tied to qualifying receivables.

Staffing Agencies

Staffing companies can experience a significant gap between paying employees and collecting payment from clients.

Weekly or biweekly payroll continues even when customers have 30-, 60-, or longer payment terms.

Invoice factoring for staffing agencies can provide working capital based on eligible customer invoices, helping staffing companies manage payroll and pursue additional placements and contracts.

Trucking & Freight Companies

Transportation companies complete loads, deliveries, and other services before receiving payment from brokers, shippers, and customers.

Fuel, driver payroll, maintenance, insurance, and equipment expenses continue while receivables remain outstanding.

Freight factoring and trucking invoice factoring can help transportation companies access working capital from eligible freight invoices and maintain more consistent cash flow.

Transportation & Logistics Companies

Logistics companies, freight brokers, delivery businesses, and other transportation providers may experience cash-flow pressure when customers pay well after services are completed.

Invoice factoring can help eligible transportation and logistics companies convert qualifying receivables into working capital.

This can provide additional flexibility for payroll, fuel, vendors, operating costs, and growth.

Manufacturing Companies

Manufacturers frequently have to purchase raw materials, pay employees, operate equipment, and fulfill customer orders before receiving payment.

Long customer payment terms can make growth difficult even when sales are increasing.

Invoice factoring for manufacturers can provide access to working capital tied to eligible accounts receivable, helping manufacturers support production and fulfill new orders.

Distributors & Wholesalers

Distributors and wholesalers often purchase inventory from suppliers before collecting payment from customers.

When customers receive 30-, 60-, or 90-day payment terms, cash can become tied up in accounts receivable.

Invoice factoring for distributors and wholesalers can help improve access to working capital while customers pay their outstanding invoices.

This can help businesses manage inventory purchases, supplier payments, operating expenses, and growth opportunities.

Healthcare & Medical Businesses

Healthcare-related businesses can experience lengthy payment cycles and significant ongoing operating expenses.

Medical providers, healthcare service companies, and certain healthcare staffing businesses may be able to use eligible receivables to support working capital needs.

Healthcare invoice factoring can help qualified businesses access capital without waiting for every customer or commercial account to pay.

Government Contractors

Government contracts can provide valuable opportunities for growing companies, but payment cycles may create working-capital challenges.

A business may have already performed the required work, supplied products, or completed services while waiting for an eligible receivable to be paid.

Government receivables financing and invoice factoring may help qualified contractors access working capital tied to eligible government receivables.

Security Companies

Security companies often have recurring payroll obligations while commercial customers may pay invoices on extended terms.

As a security company adds locations, employees, or contracts, its working-capital requirements can increase quickly.

Invoice factoring for security companies can help eligible businesses access working capital from qualifying commercial receivables.

Funds may be used for payroll, operating expenses, recruiting, equipment, and business expansion.

IT & Technology Companies

IT consulting companies, technology providers, software development firms, and other technology businesses frequently provide services before receiving payment.

For companies with substantial payroll and professional labor costs, delayed receivables can create a cash-flow gap.

IT invoice factoring can provide qualified technology companies with access to working capital based on eligible commercial invoices.

Professional & Business Services

Consulting firms, marketing agencies, engineering firms, accounting companies, staffing providers, and other B2B service businesses may have limited physical assets to use as collateral.

Their primary business asset may be their accounts receivable.

Invoice factoring for service businesses can provide an alternative way to access working capital by leveraging eligible invoices from creditworthy commercial customers.

Janitorial & Facility Services

Janitorial companies and facility service providers may perform services every day while waiting weeks or months for commercial customers to pay.

Payroll, supplies, transportation, insurance, and other expenses still need to be paid on schedule.

Invoice factoring for janitorial companies can help qualified businesses access working capital from eligible commercial receivables.

Telecommunications Companies

Telecommunications contractors and companies providing installation, infrastructure, maintenance, and related services may encounter extended payment cycles.

Invoice factoring can potentially help qualified companies access working capital from eligible invoices while customers follow their normal payment schedules.

Automotive Suppliers

Automotive parts suppliers, component manufacturers, distributors, and related businesses may need to purchase materials and maintain production before customer invoices are paid.

Invoice factoring can help qualified automotive businesses access working capital from eligible commercial accounts receivable.

Oilfield & Energy Companies

Oilfield, energy, and related service companies can face substantial operating costs associated with labor, equipment, transportation, and field operations.

When commercial customers take weeks or months to pay, access to working capital can become an important part of managing operations.

Invoice factoring may provide a financing option for qualified companies with eligible commercial receivables.
