6 1. What is factoring? Main types of factoring Full-Service Factoring Maturity Factoring Non-Recourse Factoring Recourse Factoring Reverse Factoring (or Supplier Finance) Invoice Dicounting International factoring The Factor provides the Assignor with all the following services: Advance of a percentage of the amount of the receivables assigned; Receivable management and collections; Credit protection. The Assignor receives from the Factor the payment of the receivables on their due date or on a certain, fixed and pre-agreed date The Factor offers a credit protection service, therefore the credit risk of debtor failure remains with the factor. The credit risk of Debtor failure remains with the Assignor (no credit protection service). The agreement is set between the Factor and a (usually strong) Debtor. The Factor offers the Debtor s suppliers the possibility to assign any receivable approved for payment by the Debtor. The Assignor assigns its receivables in exchange for an advance of a percentage of the amount but retain full control of its sales ledger function. Includes Import and Export Factoring, usually performed through the Two Factor System (two Factoring companies connected through an International Organization of Factoring: IFG or FCI) Harmonized terms of the European Factoring and Commercial Finance Industry can be found in the EUF Glossary 6
