How many times have you heard, “Thanks for your patience during COVID 19”… or “Due to COVID 19 we can no longer do…” what you were counting on them to do. Clearly, the scope of business disruption caused by the pandemic, and the inconsistent, ever-changing government responses to it, has been catastrophic.

If you have used factoring services, you are likely familiar with the requirement that you maintain a “reserve account”. Reserve accounts are established when a factoring company deducts a “reserve”, as much as 10% in addition to your factoring discount fee, from the amount they pay you.

If you use a factoring company, most will check credit on the brokers and shippers you are planning to run for. There is usually no charge for that information. But unless your agreement with your factoring company is a “non-recourse” relationship, a broker/shipper’s failure to pay may still come back on you.
