What Is Factoring and Who Is Jeff Callender?
Factoring accounts receivable - selling and buying business invoices - is quickly becoming a popular means of financing for small companies. While it has been in existence for centuries and is widely used throughout Europe, many people in North America are only now learning about factoring and its benefits.
Jeff Callender started his own factoring company in 1994. The next year he delivered his first book, "Factoring Small Receivables" (now titled "How to Run a Small Factoring Business"). Since then, his many books, articles, and ebooks have shown readers how to utilize factoring in their businesses to improve cash flow and enable growth. Others, after reading his works, have chosen to become factors themselves. Still others, hired by factoring companies, have been given his books and ebooks as required reading.
The Small Factor Series
The Small Factor Series includes five titles, each of which builds on the previous book (though they can be purchased and enjoyed separately as well). All are available from Amazon in paperback and the Kindle Store. The books include:
1. "Factoring Wisdom: A Preview of Buying Receivables"
2. "Fundamentals for Factors"
3. "How to Run a Small Factoring Business"
4. "Factoring Case Studies" (2nd Edition)
5. "Marketing Methods for Small Factors & Brokers"

While factoring provides handsome investment returns, not everyone should become a factor.

From the Author...
The Small Factor Series is based on two decades I've spent working in the factoring world. I wrote the books to help those entering the industry get it right the first time. Factoring offers business funding to vast numbers of small business owners who often have never heard of it and who are unable to obtain other financing.
I want readers avoid mistakes most small factors make. My books help entrepreneurial investors recognize the risks in factoring, and provide common sense practices to minimize risk and maximize profits. They also introduce factoring to small business owners who will benefit from this alternative financing, instead of just trying to obtain (often unsuccessfully) ordinary bank loans.
"Fundamentals for Factors" not only provides basic information about what factoring is and how it works; its purpose is to enable the reader to make an informed decision as to whether becoming a factor is a good choice for his/her life.
