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 Houston Businesses

The most populous city in Texas, Houston businesses rely on invoice factoring to boost working capital when it’s needed most.

Many Houston businesses struggle with the same problem: outstanding receivables have built up, but cash on hand is too tight to pay expenses. For industries like oil and gas, consulting, manufacturing, or professional services and others, there’s a unique solution that offers an alternative to traditional loans or lines of credit. Invoice factoring turns receivables into cash faster and easier than bank loans, all without affecting your credit profile.

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 Houston, 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.
