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

  1. Invoice Sale: The business sells its outstanding invoices to the factoring company.

  2. Advance Payment: The factor advances a percentage of the invoice value (typically 70-90%) to the business immediately.

  3. Collection: The factor collects payment directly from the debtor.

  4. 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.


Benefits of Factoring

  • Improves cash flow and working capital.

  • Outsourced credit control and collections.

  • Enables businesses to focus on growth rather than accounts receivable management.

  • Provides financing without incurring additional debt.


Considerations

  • Factoring fees can be higher than traditional loans.

  • Customer relationships may be affected if debtors are contacted by the factor.

  • Not all invoices or customers may qualify.
