How is Invoice Financing from Payplant different than a bank or other factoring companies?

Our goal is to understand your business, your customers, and your cash flow needs. Payplant evaluates the creditworthiness of your customer, whereas banks will focus on only your company financials and cash flow. Since our team has deep roots in working with small businesses, we understand the importance of a fair and flexible funding partner. For this reason, we have no long-term lockups or monthly minimums that you may see from other factors. See detailed comparison to other forms of funding.

What if my company has a bank loan or Line of Credit? Can I still sell invoices to Payplant?
