Factoring

Factoring is the contractual relationship between a Supplier and a specialized financial intermediary (Factor), in the context of which the Supplier assigns to the Factor all, or part of its accounts receivable against one or more Buyers.

It is a financing tool that businesses use to quickly raise working capital and improve their cash flow without the involvement of traditional bank lending. Factoring is linked to the sales of the Suppliers and the collection from their Buyers.

Target Audience

Factoring is offered to small, medium and large enterprises (Suppliers) that sell products or provide services on short-term credit to their Buyers, with repetitive or one-off purchasing behavior.

Services Offered

  1. Financing to the Supplier in the form of advance payment as a percentage of the assigned receivables value 
  2. Day-to-day management of the assigned receivables
  3. Buyer contact for the assigned receivables reconciliation and collection 
  4. Assessment of Buyers' creditworthiness through the analysis of financial data and information on their trading behavior
  5. Undertaking of Buyers credit risk (Non Recourse Factoring).
