How Does Government Factoring Work?

Click through the steps below to learn how government accounts receivable financing benefits your small business²

Step 1 of 5
Once fully approved as a United Capital Funding customer, the first step is we will send multiple copies of the Instrument and Notices of Assignment in accordance with the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940. The contracting officer is required to acknowledge receipt of the Assignment of Claims and provide the appropriate copies to the agency’s disbursement office and to United Capital Funding demonstrating perfection of our assignment.
Step 2 of 5
You continue to invoice according to your agency customer's current procedure and therefore, upload your invoice into Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF), IPP, AFWORX, or other online portals accordingly.
Step 3 of 5
Once United Capital Funding verifies the invoice has been processed and approved for payment within the online portal, UCF then makes available up to an initial 85% to 90%² of the invoice amount to your account.
Step 4 of 5
The government agency then pays the invoice amount via EFT, or by check, to United Capital Funding’s secured account/lock box facility
Step 5 of 5
Upon receipt of payment, United Capital Funding then releases the 10-15%² reserve balance, less any accrued fees.

Our companies are experiencing explosive growth. We have been self-funding and our growth constrained by cash flow issues. We have been approached by tens and tens of companies in the factoring and lending space. They have promised the world, had us jump through hoops, only to find out they did not even know their own underwriting guidelines and/or came back with what felt like "loan shark" rates and fees. This was NOT the case with United Capital Funding! The level of professionalism, expertise, and partnership were World-Class. They listened, learned about our business and brought solutions even when it involved an outside partner. The team work on their side is what created such an amazing result. We highly recommend United Capital Funding.
