How to read the blanks
Populated rows were read from American Receivable's own published pages. A blank row means American Receivable does not publish that term publicly — which is itself worth knowing, because in factoring the contract matters more than the headline rate. We never fill a gap with an estimate. If you hold a current written quote from American Receivable, send it and it goes into the index anonymised.
What American Receivable actually offers
All-industry, long operating history.
- From 0.8% published
- Up to 95% advance
- No minimums
- No long-term contracts
- Recourse and non-recourse
- 40+ year history
Features are worth less than terms. A fuel card that saves a few cents a gallon does not offset a contract you cannot exit, and a polished app does not compensate for a reserve held three weeks after your customer paid. Use the list above to understand the shape of the offer, then move to the contract questions below.
Best for
- Small businesses wanting published terms before a call
- Companies with irregular volume that cannot commit to minimums
- Operators who want the choice between recourse and non-recourse
Skip if
- You are a trucking-only operation wanting a bundled fuel card and load board
- You need very large facility sizes
The specific thing to watch with American Receivable
Before you sign
"From 0.8%" is a floor tied to strong customer credit and volume. Ask what your actual quoted rate is at your real invoice profile.
The five questions that decide your real cost
These apply to every factor, and the answers should be in writing. Vague answers to any of them are themselves an answer.
- What is the discount rate, per what period, and what happens on day 31, 45 and 60? A rate quoted “per 30 days” behaves very differently from one that steps up in full periods. If your customers routinely pay at 45 days, the step matters more than the headline.
- What is the advance rate, and how quickly is the reserve released after my customer pays? The reserve is your working capital sitting in someone else’s account. A factor holding it for a week after collection is financing itself with your money.
- Is there a monthly minimum, and what does a slow month cost me? This is the single most common reason a low advertised rate turns expensive for a small operator. Price a bad month, not an average one.
- What is the term, the notice window, and the early termination fee? Auto-renewal with a short notice window is legal, disclosed, and routinely missed. Diarise the date the day you sign.
- If non-recourse: what is the covered-event definition, and can you give an example of a claim you declined? The second half of that question is the informative half. Most non-recourse agreements cover customer insolvency only — not disputes, not paperwork errors, and not a customer who simply refuses to pay.

How to price American Receivable against a competing quote
Do not compare headline rates. Take your real monthly invoice volume, your customers’ actual average days-to-pay, and your real invoice count, then run both quotes through the same month including minimums and per-transfer fees. Two factors quoting the same rate can differ by several points of true cost once advance rate and fixed fees are included.

If you are already with American Receivable and want to leave
Check the termination clause before you talk to anyone else — term length, notice window and early termination fee. Then confirm how quickly they release the UCC-1 filing on your receivables, because until that is filed no new factor can take first position. Serve notice in writing inside the window, let the incoming factor handle the buyout, and update remit-to instructions with every customer. The full switching sequence →
Verdict
The published-terms benchmark for small-business factoring. Start here when comparing. As with every company in this index, that is a judgement about published positioning and structure — not about a rate we have verified for your specific business. Get two written quotes before deciding, and put them in front of each other. Quoted terms in this market move when there is a credible alternative on the table.
