6 To begin at the beginning Factoring is a purchase of receivables Via a Pledge or Assignment or Subrogation Transfers rights over the debt to the Factor Factoring is not a loan against receivables Significant legal difference The factor has rights over the debt. A lender does not; he takes security against the debt

7 To begin at the beginning The Factor makes money available against the receivable It s not a loan The Factor advances money to the client if the client requests it It s not a loan QUESTION how do you get your money back?

8 Factoring v Bank product Bank products Overdraft Term loan Loan against receivables Security for the facility: cash deposits, guarantees, fixed assets Factoring can advance a higher percentage because of closer management of the facility

9 What factoring offers 1. Finance 2. Receivables administration 3. Collections 4. Protection against bad debts The client has choices

10 The Factoring Cycle 1.Factor issues credit limit on debtor (non-recourse) 2.Supplier send goods to debtor Supplier Debtor 3. Supplier assigns invoice to factor 4. Factor advances 80% to supplier 5. Factor makes contact with debtor 6. Debtor pays to factor 7. Factor sends balance of money to Supplier Factor

11 DISCLOSED Types of Factoring Debtor knows of the factor s involvement Assignment notice on each invoice Debtor clears debt by paying to the factor UNDISCLOSED or CONFIDENTIAL or SECRET debtor does not know of factor s involvement No assignment notice on the invoice Debtor pays to a bank account in the name of the supplier but controlled by the factor some jurisdictions)

12 Factoring Products RECOURSE FACTORING Supplier (client) bears the risk of the debtor not paying Debt is funded for a pre-determined period (typically 90 days from invoice date) If an invoice is not paid at 90 days, the client must repay to the factor the advance previously received in practice you restrict financing on next invoice(s)

13 Factoring Products NON-RECOURSE FACTORING The Factor bears the risk of the debtor not paying (up to the amount of the credit limit) Each debtor is assessed by the factor and given a credit limit Client claims against the Factor if the debt has not been paid and there is no dispute The bad debt percentage (insured amount) is usually 100% of the value of the debt Many Factors re-insure the risk
