Clearer Factoring Disclosures for Small Businesses Seeking Capital (Under $500K).

This law mandates that providers must clearly disclose all costs and terms of factoring agreements (selling invoices) valued under $500,000 to small businesses. This protects small business owners by ensuring they fully understand the true cost, fees, and reserve requirements before accessing quick capital. The Act establishes a single federal standard for these disclosures, overriding inconsistent state laws.
Key points
Factoring providers must give small businesses a detailed, written disclosure listing all fees, reserves, and the difference between the invoice value and the cash paid out.
The disclosure requirement applies to factoring agreements totaling less than $500,000, focusing protection on smaller financial transactions.
Providers must include a specific $10,000 transaction example to clearly demonstrate the net amount the small business will receive after all deductions.
The federal law preempts states from imposing additional or inconsistent disclosure requirements, ensuring regulatory uniformity nationwide.
