When writing the text for Factoring Solutions website ten years ago in 1999 I added the quip that “many companies using invoice finance to speed up cash flow still find their factor by looking in Yellow Pages – which is surely why there are so many factors beginning with the letter A” and it gives me great pleasure that the powers that be at Cattles have heeded my words

I doubt whether many people use Yellow Pages any more but there are obviously web directories that list factoring companies in alphabetical order so Absolute will jump up the queue with their name change and regain the position that they had when they used to be known as Argent Commercial Services.

I wonder if anyone will now consider changing their name to Aardvark Factors to get pole position

Is this to be the new company name if the sale of the factoring company ever goes through or have the Cattles management decided to prepare to jump ship in case the continued stalling proves terminal.
