By Wesley Merrick

A practical guide to improving business liquidity through receivables-based financing.

Written for finance professionals, business owners, and operations leaders, it breaks down the mechanics of factoring, invoice discounting, and asset-based lending in clear language. You will see how advance rates are set, how borrowing bases are calculated, and why customer quality, aging, concentration, and dilution matter so much in underwriting and pricing.

Each chapter combines concept explanation with practical examples, so readers can move from theory to application. The book shows how to build cash forecasts, compare financing options, monitor performance, and design reporting routines that keep lenders and borrowers aligned.

What makes this book especially useful is its focus on the full lifecycle of receivables finance, from initial due diligence and onboarding to ongoing governance and renewal planning. It is not just about getting funding in place, it is about making the structure work reliably over time.

Whether you are evaluating a new facility, improving your working capital process, or trying to understand how receivables can support liquidity, this book offers a clear, structured path forward.
