FINANCE FOR PRINTERS
3 things that your bank manager probably won’t say to you:

“I can give you another 50% on your overdraft”

“We will increase your limit automatically”

“Don’t worry we won’t have to take your house as security”

The printing industry is one that has always tended to suffer from being strangled by cash constraints. Although the larger printing groups may have the muscle to negotiate decent credit terms from suppliers, the smaller owner managed business is often dictated to by its main suppliers.

Add to this a customer base that may not always pay on 30 days and small to medium sized printers have tended to suffer from cash constraints.

Being a conservative bunch it has taken time for Invoice Finance to be accepted in the print industry as a method of funding cash requirements and printers have traditionally relied on overdraft to finance their business. However over the past few years banks have been lending less and less and Invoice Finance has seen a substantial growth in the printing sector. You may have thought about Invoice Finance in the past and dismissed it but the marketplace has changed and now may be the time to think again.

Why Calverton Factors?
More through accident than design we have a good number of printing clients on our books. This has happened because we are good at what we do and our clients have recommended us to their business acquaintances. This means that over the years we feel that we have a good understanding of the industry and we are very positive about providing our services.
Larger factoring companies can be impersonal and inflexible – Calverton Factors provides facilities that match our clients’ needs, take Pioneer Print as an example:
Pioneer Print is a long established family printing company based in North London. Although it espouses traditional business values such as quality and service it also works with the most up to date web-based technology.
The company is run by Peter Binden and Andy Hopkins.
The business was factoring with their bank but they felt that they had moved on from the rigid requirements of the facility and they also wanted to improve on some on the credit control aspects. They had brought in an accountant and a credit controller and their debt turn was coming down.
“But then we realised that we were doing our own credit control and paying the factoring company for duplicating the service” says Peter “we approached our factoring company and at the same time we happened to get a marketing call from Calverton Factors”.
Mark Byrne from Calverton Factors says “I went to see Peter and Andy and was impressed with the operation. I really wanted to work with this business. When I talked to them it was clear that their credit control was working but that they might need help with difficult payers. We decided on a credit control strategy whereby they manage the everyday chasing but if a customer really isn’t paying then we get involved and take legal action if necessary.”
“We deal with a large number of customers and there will always be ‘sticky’ ones” says Andy “they may ignore our calls but they take a different attitude when Calverton Factors get involved. The system really works well and Calverton Factors halved our costs”.
