The Fifo Capital Formula
The Fifo Capital formula is simple, proven, reputable, very low risk and the market is growing rapidly.
- It's a business capable of a first year bottom line return exceeding the cost of entry!
- A business that has very low overheads, can be operated from a home base, and relies on only 4 or 5 current clients to be successful.
- A business that provides you with all the documentation, online systems, marketing resources and support to make the franchise a success.
- A Master Franchisee who has 15 years of experience in the finance industry.
What is the business?
Invoice factoring, cashflow financing, invoice financing and single invoice discounting are all common terms used to describe what Fifo Capital does. Simply, franchisees buy invoices from clients so that the clients do not have to wait to turn their credit sales into cash.
On purchasing (factoring) the invoice, we immediately pay the client 90% of the face value of the invoice. Then when the client's customer pays the invoice, we pay the balance of 10% to our client, less our fee.
Is "invoice factoring" a new business?
Invoice factoring is a well established business especially in Europe and North America. In Australia and New Zealand, the business market is taking the lead from the Northern Hemisphere and acknowledging factoring as a reputable source of short-term funding for successful businesses.
Who are our preferred clients?
Businesses that are growing and find that they have exhausted their traditional banking facilities and can benefit from additional cash now.
By using Fifo Capital they can turn the value in their debtor's ledger into:
- cash to purchase additional stock
- buy on cash terms to obtain supplier discounts or
- bridge a cashflow gap.
What will you need?
Fifo Capital funds client cashflow - consequently, the minimum working capital investment into the business is $150,000. This may be from existing savings assets or by utilising equity in property assets to provide a funding line for the business. Apart from that, Fifo Capital systems and support, a fax, a car and a computer are all you need.
