Factoring Fee

The transparent charge for advancing your invoice, usually a small percentage of the invoice amount.

The factoring fee is what you pay for the service of having your invoice advanced. It's quoted up front as a percentage of the invoice amount and deducted from the reserve when the invoice is paid — so there's no separate bill and no fixed monthly payment.

Government contract factoring fees are typically modest — often around 1–3% — because the federal government is a low-risk payer. That's usually lower than commercial factoring, where fees run higher to price in customer credit risk.

A trustworthy partner gives you a clear, all-in fee with no hidden charges, monthly minimums, or surprise add-ons. On a $100,000 invoice at a 2% fee, the fee would be $2,000.
