Frequently Asked Questions

At Denim, we’ve made it our mission to help brokers simplify their back office operations and give them more time to run their business.

Factoring Basics

How does Factoring work?

When you factor the invoice, we reserve 10% of the invoice amount until the shipper pays. We pay your carriers first and then the remaining advance goes to you. When the shipper pays, we pay the remaining minus our fee.

‍

How is Denim’s factoring for trucking companies different from other providers?

Denim offers flexible factoring options, allowing you to choose which loads to factor and when to accelerate payments. With no hidden fees, transparent terms, and full control over your cash flow, Denim helps you manage your finances with confidence.

What is non-resource factoring?

Non-recourse factoring means the factoring company assumes most of the risk of non-payment by your customers. This can be misleading because non-recourse does not necessarily protect your company from all risk. There are usually strict stipulations associated with non-recourse factoring, and the situations in which you are not responsible for customer non-payment are extremely specific.
For example, most factoring companies offer non-recourse that only applies if a debtor declares bankruptcy. And they limit non-recourse agreements to debtors that have a good credit rating. This means the shippers with bad credit ratings (who are at the highest risk of non-payment) aren’t even eligible for the non-recourse program. A majority of non-recourse agreements have a much higher factoring rate (sometimes by a full percentage). It’s important to determine whether the higher rate is really worth the cost.
Denim is a factoring company with a strong credit team. We are here to help you avoid working with customers that have poor payment histories. The best option is to establish long-lasting relationships with customers that have good credit and solid payment histories. This enables you to pay lower fees for recourse factoring without worrying about the risk.
