Factoring
What is Factoring?
Factoring is a financial transaction in which a business sells its accounts receivable (invoices) to a third party, known as a factor, at a discount. This provides the business with immediate cash flow, while the factor assumes responsibility for collecting payments from the debtors.
How Factoring Works
-
Invoice Sale: The business sells its outstanding invoices to the factoring company.
-
Advance Payment: The factor advances a percentage of the invoice value (typically 70-90%) to the business immediately.
-
Collection: The factor collects payment directly from the debtor.
-
Final Payment: Once the debtor pays, the factor remits the remaining balance to the business, minus a factoring fee.
Types of Factoring
-
Recourse Factoring: The business retains the risk of non-payment by the debtor and must buy back unpaid invoices.
-
Non-Recourse Factoring: The factor assumes the credit risk, protecting the business against debtor default.
-
Invoice Discounting: Similar to factoring, but the business retains responsibility for collecting payments.

Considerations
