According to CEO Reese Howell Jr., "We are excited about the introduction of this new product to the marketplace.  We feel like it is a strong complement to our asset-based and other small business loan programs.  In addition, we have strong management and staff experience in the industry which will serve us well going forward."

Non-recourse factoring entails the sale to and purchase of accounts receivable by the Bank at a discount.  Under the arrangement, the Bank will accept an assignment of and assume the credit risk of approved accounts receivable. 

Primary business candidates include customers in the consumer goods sectors who wish to effectively minimize or even eliminate bad debt losses, outsource back-office accounts receivable management, improve accounts receivable turnover, and increase access to working capital.  Additional industries may include other manufacturing and distribution, temporary staffing, trucking and transportation, or even other factoring companies (Re-Factoring). Inventory financing is also available with this program.
