That is part of the discussion. As a money control issue, any vendor that bills more than $2,500 a month gets paid from corporate and they can take from 30-45 days to pay. If it is paid locally then worst case is 10-days from invoice. So we are working with Controller to put some checks and balances in place to protect against fraud. Working on my side is that Controller came from a trucking company and understands the business and hates factoring companies.
Years ago a customer of mine was a part of a bigger corp. I did the p.o. thing with the local office and billed the main office in a different city. Lo' and behold the first month went by and no check! I called my cust. asked him what was up, he called corp. and straightened it out. I guess what I'm trying to say Bill is there might be some hiccups at first, but in the end it worked out pretty well.
