## Why logistics companies develop a receivables gap

Freight receivables commonly run 30, 60 or 90 days, while operating expenses are immediate. Factoring economics therefore depend on debtor quality, documentation, dilution, disputes and the time until collection.

The mismatch is structural. Carriers, ports, customs agents, fuel vendors and employees often have to be paid before a shipper or corporate customer settles its invoice. Growth can therefore consume cash even when gross margin and reported profit are improving. The lender's final position will reflect the specific contracts, payment flows, collateral controls and jurisdiction involved.

## What makes a freight invoice financeable

- a completed and documented service with no material performance dispute
- an identifiable corporate debtor with acceptable credit quality
- clear invoice terms, proof of delivery or transport evidence where applicable
- limited offsets, claims, credit notes and pass-through disputes
- a collection process that can direct proceeds to a controlled account

## Tenor directly affects the economics

A 30-day invoice consumes less financing time than a 90-day invoice, so the all-in cost and availability can differ even when the debtor is the same. Aging also matters because invoices that move beyond agreed eligibility limits can be excluded from the borrowing base or repurchased under a factoring agreement.

## Dilution and concentration matter

Logistics invoices can be reduced after billing because of claims, accessorial disputes, damaged cargo, service-level issues or credits. A finance provider therefore measures gross invoices against actual cash collections. High dilution reduces confidence in invoice face value and can lead to lower advance rates or reserves. The lender's final position will reflect the specific contracts, payment flows, collateral controls and jurisdiction involved.

| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Days sales outstanding   | Shows how long cash remains tied up after invoicing.                 |
| Top-debtor concentration | Measures dependence on one customer for repayment.                   |
| Dilution                 | Shows how much billed value is lost to credits, disputes or offsets. |
| Aging                    | Indicates whether invoices remain within eligibility limits.         |
| Collections history      | Tests whether stated receivables convert into cash as expected.      |

## Documents normally required

A lender or factor will typically request receivables aging, customer concentration, sample invoices, contracts or rate confirmations, bank statements, historical financials and evidence supporting completed services. The objective is to confirm that the receivable is genuine, assignable and likely to be paid. The lender's final position will reflect the specific contracts, payment flows, collateral controls and jurisdiction involved.

## FAQ About Freight Invoice Factoring for 30, 60 and 90-Day Receivables

### Can receivables finance grow with revenue?

Potentially. A revolving facility can increase as eligible receivables grow, subject to facility limits, concentration caps and underwriting.

### Can freight invoices be factored?

Yes, if the receivables are genuine, assignable, adequately documented and owed by acceptable debtors.

### Do logistics factors finance disputed invoices?

Generally not. Disputed, offset-prone or inadequately documented invoices are commonly excluded or reserved against.

### What determines the advance rate?

Debtor quality, aging, concentration, dilution, historical collections and the legal strength of the receivable all affect availability.
