Answers to Your Most-Asked Questions
What is factoring?
Factoring is a financial tool you can use to maximize your cash flow. Great Plains will buy any outstanding invoices from your loads and turn them into a positive checkbook balance. We charge a low fixed fee with no monthly minimums, so you receive payments from your loads faster.
What is the difference between recourse and non-recourse factoring?
Recourse factoring typically benefits larger trucking companies that can assume customer credit risk. This program includes lower fees and a financial reserve. Non-recourse factoring lets Great Plains assume credit responsibility. While the factoring fee may run higher, there is no reserve held by Great Plains until the invoice is paid. Non-recourse factoring is ideal for a trucking company operating one to five trucks.
I am a new trucking company. Can I factor with Great Plains?
Though Great Plains does require you to operate under your own operating authority, we do work with brand new trucking companies every day! Need operating authority? Contact our Authority Department today!
What are the factoring fees?
Great Plains factoring fees are based on the monthly volume of invoices you factor, the average number of days it takes your customers to pay, and the type of factoring program chosen (recourse or non-recourse).
