4 Factoring Investments Factoring is the sale of a company s accounts receivable in exchange for immediate cash. For many businesses, accounts receivable represent one of the largest assets on the balance sheet. However, the asset lies dormant until the time of collection, when it is converted into cash. Bridging Finance assists in turning those dormant assets into cash. Bridging Finance takes the time to get to know its clients and their business, and focuses on working with them to create a custom program based on their individual needs. Each account is professionally serviced by a dedicated account manager, who understands the needs of the company. Bridging Finance services are available to nearly any business that invoices or extends credit to its customers for services rendered and/or products delivered. Both product and service based businesses can benefit from our services. Factoring Investments will be well diversified by industry, sector and size according to underwriting standards determined by the Sub-Advisor on behalf of the Partnership.

5 Without Factoring Sale of goods/services Business owner Customer Business owner waits 60 days + to get paid Typically, a business owner can wait 60+ days before being paid. If they are paying their employees and every vendors weekly, this creates a drag on cash flow. With Factoring Sale of goods/services Business owner assigns receivable to Bridging Finance Bridging advances % of receivable to business owner on Day 1 Customer pays Bridging in 60+ days We pay the business owner on day 1 a percentage of their amount owing and collect 100% of the amount owing from the customer.
