Education Company Manages Cash Flow Problems with Accounts Receivable Factoring from Bibby Financial Services

CHICAGO – Bibby Financial Services said that in two separate transactions it provided accounts receivable factoring to a California-based private education company that offers after school tutoring services under the 2001 federally-funded No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). A second business owned by the same company sells office products and snacks to school districts. Each company received an advance of $1 million that was used to pay out an existing lender and to cover general operating expenses including payroll and taxes.

“We initiated a relationship with this company because it is very highly regarded for hiring high quality and experienced tutors, making it one of the most sought after education companies on the west coast,” Bibby Financial Services CEO Stewart Chesters said.

“With about $25 billion in federal funding for NCLB, we believe there is excellent opportunity for growth in this important industry. Education is an ideal candidate for accounts receivable factoring because it’s a service-based business with many employees who need to be paid weekly. Yet our client isn’t paid by its customers for about 40 days,” he explained. “Factoring bridges that cash flow gap and provides funds our client can use to hire more tutors and grow its customer base. Additionally, it’s a cyclical business with most of its revenues generated over eight months to match the school year. Factoring smoothes out that uneven cash flow, which can pinch our client,” Chesters added.
