How do I use Smart Freight if I'm locked into a contract with another company?
It might not be too late! In some instances, we offer contract buy-outs to get you out of your contract. Contact us to find out more!
What makes your company any better than any other factoring company?
Most factoring companies claim to offer low rates, next-day pay, and no monthly minimums. However, they tend to lock you into a contract and tack on hidden fees that make the low rate, well, not so low anymore. At Smart Freight, we don't lock you into anything, and we're very transparent with everything we do, which means absolutely no hidden fees. After all, it is your money we're handling.
