What
Definition
- Factoring is a financial transaction whereby a business sells its accounts receivables (i.e. invoices) to a factor for immediate money to finance its day to day operations.
- In factoring, the emphasis is on the quality / collectability of the receivables than merely the firm’s credit worthiness.
- It is a tripartite agreement between three parties: the seller of goods, the buyer of goods (debtor), and the factor.
- Factoring thus not only helps you in expanding your business, but also provides you with an efficient collection mechanism and protection against bad debts.
