For alternative investors like you, invoice factoring can provide another stream of income. And since factoring is not isolated to one industry, that flexibility helps you stay agile. Curious if it's right for your investing goals? To verify if factoring is for you, come learn the basics with the Executive Director of the International Factoring Association, Tania Daniel.
