A majority of large oil and gas companies pay invoices between 30 to 60 days, and sometimes as long as 90 days. When this occurs, it results in a trickle-down effect to oilfield service companies. Oilfield service companies are not only laying out money for materials, labor, and equipment, but they are also waiting extending periods of time to get paid. Even when invoices are paid “on time”, the cash outlay is a least 60 days. The best way to combat the cashflow gap is to use oilfield factoring programs. Factoring programs for oilfield service companies provide instant payment on invoices. By accelerating payment on open invoices there is no longer a cashflow gap that companies have to manage through. Advance rates are typically 85% to 95% of each invoice and paid within 24 hours of billing.

When using invoice factoring companies are able to redirect focus from cashflow and operations to growth and expansion. Available capital means additional resources to look for new contracts and expand your business. Invoice factoring for oilfield services provides the liquidity needs for both day to day operations and growth. Some of the benefits to oilfield service factoring are below.
