Coface North America Launches Receivables Finance/Factoring Business Line

Coface North America, part of the global credit management services provider, Coface S.A., announced that it has begun trade receivables finance (invoice factoring) operations in the United States. Coface Credit Management North America, Inc., (CCMNA), a Coface North America company, will manage the receivables finance and factoring operations. Coface North America also offers trade receivables protection, commercial credit information and receivables management services through other Coface North America companies.

Trade receivables financing, also known as invoice factoring, enables a business to convert accounts receivable into immediate funds instead of waiting for payment when the receivable is due. This practice is especially beneficial to growing companies that need cash flow to finance expansion, take advantage of supplier discounts and build their own credit ratings.  “This is really a milestone for Coface in North America. We are now fully operational in all four of Coface’s global business lines: trade receivables protection, information, receivables management, and finance,” said Michael Ferrante, President of Coface North America. “This business line enables us to offer the entire range of commercial credit management services to our customers, since it combines financing, credit risk protection and collection services all into one offering.”

“We have put an experienced team in place to ensure that we provide a seamless, professional service,” said Val Goldstein, Executive Vice President of CCMNA. “We will handle the invoice management and collections for our clients so they can focus on their core businesses.”

CCMNA is based in East Windsor, New Jersey. Accounts receivable specialists are located throughout the United States and Canada.
