Recent Factoring Deals

Light Industrial Staffing Company
Initial Need: $100,000

Problem: A startup staffing company faced the tough decision of choosing a factoring company amongst a sea of options. They knew they needed factoring to bridge the gap between payroll and customer payment, but didn’t know where to turn.

Solution: Referred by a former colleague, the founders contacted altLINE by The Southern Bank to see what they could do. Unlike many factoring companies, altLINE has factoring programs specifically catering to start up businesses and was able to put a facility in place.

Result: The factoring line that was put in place has given the founders to take on growth at a rapid, yet healthy pace. The company has grown from no revenue to $500,000 month in billings in the span of 6 months.
Packaging Manufacturer
Initial Need: $500,000

Problem: Less than two years old, this manufacturer of industrial packaging was unable to secure a traditional line of credit from their local community banks due to a lack of operating history.

Solution: Rather than turning to an independent factoring company, the manufacturer chose to work with The Southern Bank which offered him the best of both worlds – significant access to capital at a great rate.

Result: The manufacturer continues to grow and has moved into two new product lines. As their financial performance continues to develop, the company is working with The Southern Bank to secure a more traditional credit facility.
Commercial Landscaper
Initial Need: $350,000

Problem: The landscaping company operates in a low margin industry, but the business’s previous factoring company was charging very high rates leaving little in terms of profitability.

Solution: Seeking a lower rate, the commercial landscaper sought out bids from other factoring companies. As a direct bank lender, The Southern Bank was able to greatly reduce their factoring costs leaving more money in the business.

Result: With the same access to capital, but at a reduced rate, the commercial landscaper has grown their business from $3MM to $7MM in 18 months.

How altLINE Can Help You Grow

How Invoice Factoring Supports Chattanooga Businesses

A hotspot for the manufacturing, service, and trucking industries, Chattanooga businesses often turn to invoice factoring to fuel growth.

A diverse mix of businesses make up the economy of Chattanooga, Tennessee – predominantly within the services, manufacturing, and freight sectors. These industries suffer from a similar problem: high receivables but low working capital. This causes recurring strains on the business that limit growth and the ability to stay on top of expenses like payroll. When traditional bank lending is either unavailable or undesirable, these businesses must turn to alternative solutions, like invoice factoring.

When you factor with altLINE, we fund up to 90% of your invoices now, offering you a critical boost in cash flow that helps you stay on top of your expenses, no matter where your outstanding receivables stand. Unlike other factoring companies in Chattanooga, we don’t charge hidden fees that are intended to trap you. As a regulated bank, we’re 100% transparent because we want to be, and we have to be.
