The biggest pitfalls in working capital finance.

A practical guide for CFOs, controllers and treasurers. What goes wrong with factoring, inventory and business finance, and how do you avoid it? No sales story, just the details that matter.

What you will find in the guide

  • The fee structure unpicked: where do hidden costs sit, and which questions do you ask up front?
  • Balance sheet impact per form of finance: effects on the current ratio, DSO and covenants.
  • Accounting treatment: sale of receivables or financing, and what that means.
  • Debtor concentration: how do you deal with one large client?
  • Taking over a pledge: when is buying out the bank the right route?

What the guide covers

The guide works through the five points above, with the worked examples alongside. If you want to read something up first, the core of it is already on this site.

The cost build-up is in what does factoring cost. The balance sheet impact is in factoring on or off balance sheet. Buying out the bank is in what is a pledge.

If you want to compare providers, use the eleven questions. If the forms sit alongside each other in your case, read combined working capital finance.
