Seaside Equity Associates, Inc.
Seaside
Equity Associates, Inc.
provides working capital to businesses primarily through Factoring
Accounts Receivable, sometimes referred to as Accounts Receivable
Financing. Our Factoring Accounts Receivable services include
government receivable factoring, accounts receivable factoring,
accounts receivable financing, medical accounts receivable
financing, invoice factoring and medical factoring. One of our
hallmarks is the genuine desire to expeditiously help small, medium
and larger businesses resolve financial situations using one of
the simplest and safest financing tools available that virtually
guarantees access to unlimited amounts of capital. Technically
there is a difference between accounts receivable factoring and
accounts receivable financing, the latter usually being done by
traditional institutions and/or 'Asset Based Lenders'. Common
day usage of both these terms has however just about rendered
them interchangeable within the business community nationwide.
Generally, Accounts Receivable is by far the largest asset on
a company's balance sheet, yet those dollars are often unavailable
for frighteningly long periods of time. Our mission is to promote
awareness throughout the business community that accounts receivable
are assets that can be converted into cash in a matter of hours
using government receivable factoring, accounts receivable factoring,
accounts receivable financing, factoring accounts receivable,
medical accounts receivable financing, invoice factoring
or medical factoring.

When a company does business with another company (or any legal
entity) it results in an invoice being generated for a payment
due for goods and/or services provided to the customer company.
The invoices become known as Accounts Receivable and frequently
comprise a substantial percentage of a company's assets. Even
the best 'debtor' company usually will allow the invoice to "age"
30, 45, or 60 days, and sometimes longer before remitting the
payment due. That time delay constitutes credit terms to a customer
at the expense of the provider of the goods or services. Waiting
that long for the payments of outstanding Accounts Receivable
often puts a strain (cash flow crunch) on a company that needs
to meet payroll, pay vendors, and meet various other expenses.
Without sufficient cash on hand to replenish raw materials and
or inventory, many companies cannot grow as rapidly as they could.
Often times they have to "pass" or refuse taking new
or additional orders because they cannot 'deliver' without those
replacement items.
Accounts Receivable Factoring (also Accounts Receivable
Financing) simply put is the sale and purchase of a company's
invoice converting it into cash usually in less than 48 hours.
Accounts Receivable Factoring includes government receivable factoring,
accounts receivable financing, factoring accounts receivable,
medical accounts receivable financing, invoice factoring
and medical factoring.
Factoring Accounts Receivable permits you to offer your
good customers credit terms just as your competition does, however
you are getting paid as though your sale was a C.O.D. (Cash
On Delivery) order.
Some factors have established geographic limitations however we
offer accounts receivable financing anywhere in the United States
and Canada too. Other international opportunities will be evaluated
on an individual basis.

What if we do business with Governments and their Agencies?
Back

Government
Receivable Factoring is available to companies doing business
with local (municipal), county, state, and federal governments
and their agencies. Boards of Education, Vocational Schools, Technical
Schools, Colleges and Universities also fall under the heading
of Government Receivable Factoring although some may be
privately operated. Some funding sources have indicated their
statistics show, at times, that the amount of invoices submitted
to them for government receivable factoring often is greater than
the total value of invoices from all other clients in corporate
America. Usually a contract with a 'government agency' will contain
special clauses i.e. progress payments, retainage, etc. A typical
'government receivable factoring agreement' provides for these
unique requirements so that invoice factoring (funding) can be
accomplished in a timely and satisfactory manner. Government receivable
factoring is available, as well as accounts receivable financing;
factoring accounts receivable, accounts receivable factoring,
medical accounts receivable financing, invoice factoring and medical
factoring.
We are 'Health care' providers. Is Factoring Accounts Receivable
available to us?
Back

The Health Care Industry is made up of a myriad of professions
and encompasses literally hundreds, if not thousands, of mostly
unique providers of services who often seek medical accounts receivable
financing. Usually the providers of medical services will receive
payment from more than one source. For example; the recipient
of the services will make a partial payment and a third party,
such as a health insurance company, will frequently make another
partial payment when the provider submits a claim for whatever
services were rendered. This process is far more complex than
it sounds and most often causes the medical provider to expend
a great deal of time, energy, and money doing the "paperwork"
not to mention the work required in the follow up activities related
to the collection of funds. Many health care providers can improve
their cash flow from these third party payors of claims through
the use of Medical Accounts Receivable Financing professionals.
Most, but not all, of the traditional medical provisioners can
avail themselves of this financial tool. In part, and due to the
logistics relating to some facets of the medical professions not
all categories within the industry qualify for accounts receivable
financing of an invoice. Accordingly and regrettably, at this
time, we cannot include dental providers as potential recipients
for medical factoring and it is most probable that accounts receivable
financing, in any form, will not be available to them in the foreseeable
future. While it is somewhat difficult to qualify a provider in
the category of Chiropractic services for factoring accounts receivable
it can and is being done by a select few accounts receivable factoring
sources that specialize in that category almost to the exclusion
of all other industries. It should be noted however that the cash
flow industry relating to the health care industry is evolving
continuously and new opportunities to provide invoice factoring
to those presently excluded professions may very well be initiated
(perhaps even under the 'guise' of government receivable factoring).
Despite these few exclusions, the wide range of medical services
that qualify for third party claim payments do get approved for
medical accounts receivable financing. Our services also
include government receivable factoring, accounts receivable financing;
factoring accounts receivable, accounts receivable factoring,
medical accounts receivable financing, invoice factoring and medical
factoring, for many industries.
A few funding sources also extend equipment lease financing opportunities
to the medical professions. Also, Medical Billing and Collections
Services are provided by some medical factoring sources, if that
is of interest to any potential client. Some health care providers
believe it is less expensive and far more efficient to 'outsource'
that activity as opposed to using 'in house' or temporary staff
to accomplish those tasks. Medical factoring may be available
for your health care company. To
learn whether accounts receivable financing, medical accounts
receivable financing, government receivable factoring, factoring
accounts receivable, accounts receivable factoring, medical
accounts receivable financing, invoice factoring or medical
factoring will work for health care company, call us at (732)
830-1657.
We're in the transportation industry. Can we get Accounts Receivable
Financing?
Back

Accounts
Receivable Factoring in the transportation industry is and will
continue to be an important segment of the cash flow industry
across the continent (including Canada and Mexico). As in many
other industries there are literally hundreds of specialized categories
that qualify for invoice factoring. There is really no known accurate
count of the number of air, land, and sea 'carriers', for lack
of a better descriptive label, that have experienced remarkable
growth of their business by using accounts receivable factoring
to accelerate their cash flow (but it most probably is a majority
of them). Indeed the trucking industry (and it's related businesses)
rely heavily on funding from the sale of their accounts receivable
to continue doing business. The 'payment for services' is a relatively
short cycle, particularly in the trucking industry, and when a
clients customer takes six to ten weeks to remit payments it then
becomes essential to have cash readily on hand to pay truckers
and meeting other expenses. Most trucking companies require payment
in full within a few weeks. Despite the wide variety of categories
in the transportation industry most, but not all, can utilize
Accounts Receivable Factoring as an alternative to traditional
financing. Carriers have often benefited greatly by virtue of
being able to "book" new business, convert the debt
into cash (via invoice factoring) and thus realize a significant
growth of their 'bottom line'. Accounts receivable financing for
the transportation industry may be available to you and your company.
Additional services include medical accounts receivable financing,
government receivable factoring, accounts receivable financing;
factoring accounts receivable, accounts receivable factoring,
medical accounts receivable financing, invoice factoring and medical
factoring for a variety of industries.
Can the
Construction Industry use Accounts Receivable Factoring?
Back
to Top
Generally yes, but an all-inclusive answer cannot be given due
to the very nature of the industry. Most often a sub-contractor
working for a financially sound and reputable General Contractor
(referred to as the 'GC') will qualify for factoring accounts
receivable. This industry is very unique and there are major differences
in the way the construction business gets done. This requires
any funding source engaged in accounts receivable financing to
consider and evaluate those variations. An in depth familiarity
with the industry is an essential component for any factor who
provides construction accounts receivable financing. Approval,
of the work completed, by virtue of an American Institute of Architects
(AIA) approval signoff usually is the authority recognized by
a factor to proceed with the purchase of a construction invoice.
It's not unusual for the 'GC' to win a contract that provides
for progress payments when a percentage of the job has been satisfactorily
completed. Simply put, at a point (or beyond) when the specified
percentage of the entire job has been satisfactorily performed
a progress payment is due and the resulting invoice becomes eligible
for accounts receivable factoring. Sub-contractors working for
a GC frequently must wait until the GC has received a progress
payment in order to receive payment for the work they did. Cash
on hand (from factoring accounts receivable weeks earlier) has
enabled a great many of them to 'stay afloat' so to speak. Accounts
receivable financing for the construction industry may be available
to you. We also offer medical accounts receivable financing, government
receivable factoring, accounts receivable financing; factoring
accounts receivable, accounts receivable factoring, medical accounts
receivable financing, invoice factoring and medical factoring
to cover a wide variety of industries.
How will a Manufacturing firm qualify for Accounts Receivable
Financing? Back
to Top
Manufacturers
producing the widest variety of products (candy, gears, carpets,
pots, flags, widgets, etc
) have been included among the
few who have used accounts receivable financing for decades. Although
the use of invoice factoring is hundreds of years old it remains
one of the least and little known methods of obtaining working
capital. When a manufacturer fills a $100,000.00 widget order
for customer number one and delivers them it is quite probable
they won't get paid for a month. Should another order from customer
number two come in for a like amount more raw materials will be
needed to produce the second order. Without the funds to pay for
them it's unlikely the order can be accepted. Invoice factoring
of customer number one's account would provide the necessary funds
to double the gross amount of business. Since fixed expenses usually
do not change (only the variable ones do, i.e. some labor, raw
materials and some utilities) a situation is created whereby the
gross profit enjoys a favorable and significant growth. The increased
percentage of profit may even reach double digits although all
businesses are unique and everyone cannot be assured of similar
results. Accounts receivable financing for the manufacturing
industry may be available to your company. To
learn whether accounts receivable financing, medical accounts
receivable financing, government receivable factoring, factoring
accounts receivable, accounts receivable factoring, medical
accounts receivable financing, invoice factoring or medical factoring
will work for your company, call us at (732) 830-1657.
What businesses are not eligible for Accounts Receivable Factoring?
Back
to Top
As
mentioned previously almost any 'B2B' (business to business) being
done is a likely candidate for accounts receivable financing.
Retails merchants do not qualify for factoring accounts receivable
but they do have something similar in the form of consumer debt
funding, available to them generally referred to as 'plastic'
or credit cards. The retailer presents a bill for merchandise,
food, clothing, etc
and then electronically processes a
claim for the payment due from a funding source that has previously
approved the consumer for a specified amount. The consumer authorizes
payment by signing the invoice for whatever goods or services
that were provided. The merchant gets paid quickly and the consumer
pays the funding source in accordance with the terms agreed to
previously. That scenario constitutes what has been 'dubbed' "Consumer
Debt".
Example: When a landscaper cuts and trims the lawn on a residential
property and submits an invoice for those services to the homeowner,
that clearly is a form of 'consumer debt' and could be paid for
by using a credit card or any other acceptable means.
On the other hand if that same landscaper cuts and trims the grounds
of a corporation or major hotel/motel chain and submits an invoice
it creates debt that will qualify for accounts receivable factoring.

Is Factoring Accounts Receivable affordable for all types of business?
Back

If you can't make money or save some money then factoring accounts
receivable may not be the right financing tool for you --- and
we'll tell you that!
The
benefits attributed to factoring accounts receivable are many.
Too numerous for us to mention all of them but we will post several
herein;
- Converts
invoices into cash usually in 24 hours.
- Guarantees
an ongoing source of readily available working capital.
- Collection
functions. Factors handle collections efficiently and courteously.

..
What does
it cost? Practically nothing when you consider how much is lost
having to wait 45, 60, or 90 days to get paid for goods or services,
which were already provided. That money could be working to produce
additional revenues. Also keep in mind the overhead costs (labor
and expenses) related to credit administration, invoice mailing,
debt collection, logging of payments, check deposits along with
other in house support for Accounts Receivable Departments. Freeing
up these employees for other tasks (or even reducing staff) can
be a significant saving. Taking discounts offered to you by your
vendors can often cover the small fees. Having cash available
presents countless ways to benefit any business, especially young
and growing, even new and start up, companies. Accounts receivable
financing for your industry may be available, including medical
accounts receivable financing, government receivable factoring,
