I'd assume, initially, you'd rely on D&B or something like that to determine worthiness. Are you building a marketplace to let anyone provide money to factor? Or is this only for existing factors? Are you providing the funding, so you are the factor?
There's a ton of money in this type of business. If you can make 1.5-2%, per month, on your money, that's a huge win. It's kinda predatory in the transportation business, where margins aren't great and every dollar counts. But, in higher % businesses, it's a cash flow decision.
Interesting. Would love to chat more about it, if you are interested.
