British soldiers synchronized their watches on the front line during World War I, and some of the first people to adopt DST did so in World War I.
In 1918, the United States implemented DST with the Standard Time Act as a wartime measure for seven months during World War I.
In 1916, the Germans adopted DST to help save energy.
During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt re-established the idea of DST. Year-round DST, or “War Time”, was implemented again during World War II.
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan signed the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1986 into law, which amended the starting date of DST to the first Sunday in April.

This manufacturer of food ingredients had difficulty stabilizing post-pandemic. Significant reported losses resulted in bank pulling their line of credit. We will replace the line with an Account Receivable Factoring facility until a buyer for the business is found. Our non-recourse accounts receivable factoring facility will have no cap and will grow automatically as the business stabilizes and the AR balances grow. We ignore the financial strength of our clients and focus on the credit quality of their customers. Since this client sells to some of the largest food producers in the world, they are an excellent match for our program and could be funded as quickly as a week from acceptance of our non-recourse factoring proposal.
Video: The Basics of Factoring. What you need to know.
What is Factoring?
Factoring is the sale of a company’s accounts receivable to obtain working capital. Factors are typically more focused on the quality of a company’s accounts receivable than the company’s financial performance, which can make factoring the perfect alternative for a business that is struggling to obtain traditional loans but has a strong customer base.
Know the Lingo A true factoring facility is not a loan, so it pays to familiarize yourself with some of the basic factoring terminology, which differs from lending.
A factoring facility can be structured several ways. While this presentation will not attempt to describe every nuance of factoring, you should know a couple key differences recourse versus non-recourse and notification versus non-notification.
Recourse vs. Non-Recourse
With recourse factoring, if one of your client’s customers is unable to pay an invoice or does not pay in a specified amount of time (usually 60 or 90 days), the client is responsible and must repay the advance received.
With non-recourse, the factor takes on the customer’s credit risk (their inability to pay), but the client remains responsible for most other discounts or deductions their customer may take on an invoice.
A recourse factor will often underwrite both the credit of the client’s business as well as that of its customers, while non-recourse factors are usually more focused on the quality of the accounts receivable and put less (to no) weight on the financial performance of the business.
The result of this difference is a non-recourse factor is generally able to accommodate businesses in a weaker financial condition and a recourse factor may carry a lower price.
Notification vs. Non-Notification
A notification factor is one that will contact each of a client’s customers and instruct them to make payments to the factoring company.
Each invoice issued will usually include instructions that payments must be made payable to the factor. The factor will also usually make collection calls to the customers. With non-notification, the factor may use a lockbox controlled by the factor so that checks can be made payable to your client.
Non-notification factors may have little to no contact with a client’s customers.
Due to the greater control over the flow of cash afforded by notification, this structure is generally able to accommodate businesses in a weaker financial condition.
