What is factoring? Factoring is a complete financial package that combines working capital financing, credit risk protection, accounts receivable bookkeeping and collection services. It is offered under an agreement between the factor and a seller. Under the agreement, the factor purchases the seller's accounts receivable, usually without recourse, and assumes the responsibility for the debtor's financial ability to pay. If the debtor goes bankrupt or is unable to pay it's debts for credit reasons, the factor will pay the seller. When the seller and the buyer are located in different countries the service is called international factoring. A growing number of companies offer factoring services and many of these work internationally. Most factors are either owned by, or associated with, well-known international banking or other financial institutions as well as insurance companies or industrial organisations. Factoring is now universally accepted as vital to the financial needs of small and medium-sized businesses. It has the support of government bodies and central banks throughout the world. As Iinternational trade continues to increase, so too do the opportunities for the factoring industry. Because international factoring works in a similar way to domestic factoring, exporters have realised that it can help them to become more competitive in complex world markets.
