Most construction factoring companies work the same way:

- They buy the small business invoice for a percentage of the amount due; usually a small percentage is kept in reserve by the factoring company until the account is settled.
- The accounts receivable invoices are then verified by the factoring company and notice is made to the customer that the factoring company will be collecting the amount due.
- The factoring company will handle the whole collection process.
- When the account is paid in full, the reserved percentage is then paid to the business owner. A small discounted fee is charged for this service.
