Accounts receivable financing turns issued B2B invoices into operating cash while customers still sit on net-30, net-60, or net-90 terms.
You have already shipped or performed. Payment is coming — but payroll, suppliers, and the next job are due now.
Typical facilities: $250,000–$15 million, one to twelve months, secured by eligible receivables (and sometimes inventory or equipment in the same file). Repayment aligns with customer remittance — weekly or bi-weekly sweeps on qualified structures.
Jaken Finance Group arranges AR-backed working capital. We originate DSCR and hard money on investment property separately.

AR financing vs PO vs inventory
| You are here when… | Product |
|---|---|
| Invoices out, cash in | AR financing (this page) |
| PO in hand, need to pay supplier before ship | Purchase order financing |
| Need stock on the shelf, not one invoice pool | Inventory financing |
| Need $50K–$500K, no receivables pledged | Unsecured term loans |
What makes receivables eligible
Lenders discount who owes you and how clean the paper is.
- Creditworthy payors — Investment-grade customer vs disputed small account
- Concentration — Too much AR with one buyer increases risk
- Liens — Existing UCC filings on AR must be disclosed
- Disputes — Chargebacks, warranty holds, and short-pays reduce advance rates
- Government vs commercial — Payment certainty and timing differ
An AR aging report is the starting document — current, 30, 60, 90+, and any credits on account.
AR financing vs merchant cash advance
Merchant cash advances pull daily or weekly from card or ACH receipts at factor-style cost with no clear term end.
AR financing, as arranged here, usually has:
- A defined maturity (1–12 months)
- A borrowing base tied to eligible invoices
- A quoted cost structure per file — not an open-ended factor
If you are already in an MCA, model the swap on refinance a merchant cash advance before adding another layer.

A $34 million multi-site outpatient services group adds two locations. Payer remittance runs 45–75 days after claim submission. Payroll and supply vendors are bi-weekly.
- Need: $2.1 million for eight months
- Collateral: Eligible receivables from commercial payers with clean aging
- Repayment: Bi-weekly sweeps as claims pay
- Exit: Self-liquidating as new sites hit steady-state collections; SBA working capital possible later for permanent line

A $16 million technical services firm completes milestone billing on a twelve-month implementation contract. The customer pays net-45 after each milestone sign-off. Headcount for the next phase must be hired now.
- Need: $740,000 for six months
- Collateral: Milestone invoices issued and accepted, plus corporate guaranty
- Contrast: PO financing would apply before milestones were billable

Combining AR with other collateral
| Collateral mix | Typical use |
|---|---|
| AR only | Services, staffing, healthcare billing |
| AR + inventory | Distribution, manufacturing with WIP |
| AR + equipment | Asset-heavy ops with slow payers |
| AR + real estate | Larger facilities where RE supports the stack |
Real estate on the investment-property side still uses DSCR or bridge — do not mix owner-occupied ops AR with a rental refi on the same form without clarifying entities.

What to expect after you submit
Submit current aging, concentration by customer, and dispute notes on day one. Lenders advance against eligible invoices only — credits, short-pays, and government billing lags each change the borrowing base. Most AR files quote in three to ten business days when payor quality is clear. If one customer is more than 25–30% of the pool, expect questions on concentration limits and backup payors. Clean, investment-grade receivables typically advance at higher rates than disputed or slow-pay accounts. Government and healthcare payor pools may need extra documentation on remittance cycles before an advance rate is set.
