Comprehensive Credit Protection and Payment Assurance for Freight Brokers

Our program is highly valuable, as it not only offers credit protection against shipper insolvency but also guarantees payments to carriers for all loads assigned by the freight broker on factored invoices.

Freight brokers must safeguard against potential losses from shippers declaring bankruptcy or failing to pay due to insolvency. It's crucial to keep payables to carriers within 30 days and ensure that trade credit ratings meet industry standards.

Timely Payments Boost Freight Broker Credibility and Growth with NCC

For carriers and factoring companies to approve credit for a freight broker, the broker must demonstrate a consistent ability to pay invoices on time. This consistent payment history, especially with larger balances, helps build trust and reliability. As a result, carriers are more likely to approve and prioritize working with freight brokers who have a proven track record of timely payments, ensuring smooth operations and strong business relationships. NCC will help the freight brokers grow their business by providing the credit facility needed when onboarding new shippers as clients.

Digital Uploading for Streamlined Funding Requests and Efficient Payments

Nationwide Commercial Credit, Inc. (NCC) offers a digital uploading format that streamlines the process for sorting documents related to funding requests. The freight broker submits detailed information about the carrier, including payment instructions, payment terms (such as quick-pay), and any applicable quick-pay fees. Along with these details, the broker also provides the shipper's invoice and all relevant documents related to the load. Once the shipper acknowledges the payable, NCC initiates the payment to the carrier, ensuring a smooth and efficient transaction process.

non-recourse factoring freight broker

To be eligible for non-recourse factoring, a freight broker must typically meet the following requirements:

  1. Strong Creditworthy Shippers: The freight broker must have shippers with strong credit ratings. NCC offers non-recourse factoring if the shippers are deemed financially stable and unlikely to default on payments.
  2. Established Business History: A proven track record and a stable business history can increase the likelihood of qualifying for non-recourse factoring. This includes a history of timely payments and consistent business operations for at least 6 months of activity, this allows entry level freight brokers to be approved. Start up freight brokers with less than 6 month activity will not be approved.
  3. Clear and Transparent Documentation: The broker must provide clear and complete documentation for each load, including signed bills of lading, proof of delivery, and any other required documents. These documents must support the validity of the invoices along with the carrier of record used.
  4. Reasonable Payment Terms: Typically, payment terms for invoices should be reasonable and within industry standards, often ranging from 30 to 60 days. Longer terms may be approved depending on the shipper. However, this may be cost prohibitive for the freight broker to extend longer terms.
  5. Minimum Volume Requirements: Some factoring companies may require a minimum volume of invoices or a minimum dollar amount to be factored per month. NCC requires a minimum of $50,000 a month with a minimum term of 24 months.
  6. Low Concentration Risk: NCC prefers brokers with a diversified customer base to minimize the risk associated with any single shipper defaulting on payments or leveraging disputes. A minimum of 3 active shippers is preferred.
  7. Absence of Disputes and Offsets: Invoices should be free of disputes, offsets, or other issues that might delay payment.
  8. Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Requirements: The broker must comply with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements, including proper licensing and bonding.
  9. Financial Stability: NCC may require the broker to demonstrate financial stability, including a strong balance sheet and positive cash flow, to ensure the broker's overall stability and reliability.
  10. Insurance Coverage: NCC requires brokers to have insurance coverage, such as contingent cargo insurance, to protect against potential risks associated with the loads being factored.

What are the main reasons freight brokers fail in their business

Cash Flow Issues: Inadequate cash flow management can lead to financial instability, making it difficult to cover expenses and pay carriers on time.

Poor Credit Management: Failing to assess and manage the creditworthiness of shippers can result in non-payment or delayed payment issues, impacting the broker's ability to pay carriers.

Lack of Industry Knowledge: Insufficient understanding of the freight industry, including regulations, market trends, and operational logistics, can hinder a broker's ability to compete effectively.

Inefficient Operations: Inefficient processes and systems can lead to delays, errors, and increased costs, negatively affecting customer satisfaction and profitability.

Inadequate Carrier Relationships: Poor relationships with carriers can result in a lack of available capacity, unreliable service, or unfavorable rates, all of which can impact a broker's business.

Failure to Adapt to Market Changes: The freight industry is dynamic, with fluctuating rates, fuel costs, and regulations. Brokers who fail to adapt to these changes may struggle to remain competitive.

Insufficient Marketing and Sales Efforts: Without a strong sales and marketing strategy, brokers may struggle to attract new shippers and carriers, limiting growth opportunities.

Legal and Compliance Issues: Non-compliance with industry regulations, such as licensing and insurance requirements, can lead to legal issues and financial penalties.


Inadequate Technology Utilization:
Lack of investment in technology, such as transportation management systems (TMS) or digital platforms, can limit efficiency and scalability.


Poor Risk Management:
Inadequate risk management strategies, such as not having insurance or proper contracts in place, can expose the broker to significant financial risks.
