INTROD5CTION TO THE CONCE0T OF
FACTORING
F!*torin" is a1in!n*i!( 6eri*edesigned to help firms to arrange their receivable better.
Under a typical factoring arrangement a factor collects the accounts on due dates, effects
payments to the firm on these dates and also assumes the credit ris"s associated !ith the
collection of the accounts.
Sometimes the factor provides an advance against the values of receivable ta"en over by
it. In such cases factoring serves as a source of short4term finance for the firm.
In order to provide a gamut of financial services under one roof, (orp. has also started
factoring services. Under the scheme (orporation shall be at the time being only
providing advances or prepayments against receivable and other services provided by the
factor such as debt collection administration of sales ledger etc. shall be ta"en later on.
Under the scheme receivables only arising out of domestic trade shall be considered for
factoring. SupplierE$orro!er shall dra! bills of e9change for goods supplied and the
purchaser shall accept that. -fter acceptance of bills of e9change, (orporation shall ma"e
prepayment of A7C of invoice value after deducting its discount charges P 58C to 5AC
p.a. for period of bill of e9change to supplier. $alance payment of :7C of the invoice
value shall be made after collecting the payment from purchaser. If purchaser fails to pay
the due amount on due dates, the supplier shall ma"e the payment. $orro!erE Supplier
shall submit $ill of '9change along !ith invoice %RERR receipts. Suppliers to be eligiblefor factoring must have minimum trac" record of 7; years !ith consistent profitability
and minimum net !orth of Rs. :>.77 lacs.
-
8/13/2019 Varun Piplani
34/87
Usually before providing advance payments to supplier an agreement is entered !ith
supplier for arising debts of purchaser to (orporation and (orporation ma"e advances
only against invoices dra!n to this particular purchaser. Sub4limit of each purchaser is
fi9ed and sum of these sub limits is over all limit of supplier. Usually purchaser should
have been dealing !ith supplier for minimum period of t!o years. Ma9imum limit of
each purchaser should not e9ceed Rs. :>.77 %acs at a time.
Usually limit for factoring is calculated on the basis of the proected receivables on credit
sales of the company and deducting e9isting billsEboo"s debts limits enoyed by the
company from ban". Ma9imum limit shall not e9ceed t!o months average turnover of
the supplier as per last audited balance sheet or proected turnover of current year subect
to ma9imum of Rs. 577.77 %acs.
Cre!tie A(tern!tie Fin!n*in" #e*'!ni6m
The !ord LfactorL comes from the %atin LfactareL meaning Lto ma"e or to doL. This
financing mechanism dates bac" to the time of )ammurabi. It has been part of the basic
fabric of all trade.
The concept of Lma"ing it happens no!L continues. 'ssentially it is the sale or
assignment of a sale, trade, or accounts receivable account for immediate cash. $y
definition, it provides any business from start4up to mature companies 2at any si1e3,
access to immediate cash and improved cash flo! for e9pansion or gro!th but !ithout
diluting e&uity or incurring debt.
The reasons for using this financial tool are ust as numerous as they are varied
ta"e advantage of trade discounts or other early payment options !ith suppliers or
vendors and
ability to re4invest immediately to ac&uire ne! sales opportunities

Since the factoring firm effectively assumes the credit evaluation ris" of accounts
receivable that may translate into decreased internal costs for accounts receivable
administration, more efficient and effective customer accounts collection 2&uic"er pay3,
and better information for management on the credit !orthiness of the firmFs clients
increased !or"ing capital turnover as !ell as a reliable source of immediate
financing and

*otification and non4notification to the receivable account that a factoring
transaction has occurred.
/ust li"e all financing options, the business firm must evaluate its o!n individual needs
and re&uirements including a focused evaluation of all actual or potential advantages
versus the costs in the transaction. In most circumstances and at every stage of
development, factoring, if properly utili1ed, can be a very valuable financial tool to
achieve e9panded sales and company gro!th.
*ot all factoring companies are ali"e, often !ith !ide variations in terms, conditions, and
rates depending on your firmFs needs and accounts receivable 2as !ell as si1e and
geographic coverage6s 4local, regional, and national3.
F!*torin" is often used synonymously !ith accounts receivable financing or debtor
financing or invoice financing. #actoring is a form of commercial finance !hereby a
business sells its accounts receivable2in the form of invoices3 at a discount. 'ffectively,
the business is no longer dependent on the conversion of accounts receivable to cash from
the actual payment from their customers, !hich ta"es place on typical ;7 to B7 day terms.
$usinesses benefit from the acceleration of cash flo! by obtaining cash from the factor
e&ual to the face value of the sold accounts receivable, less a factorFs fee.
#actoring is considered o11 b!(!n*e 6'eetfinancing in that it is not a form of debtor a
form of e?uity$ This fact ma"es factoring more attainable than traditional ban" and
e&uity financing.
Debtor 1!*torin"has been established as a method of raising !or"ing capital for some
:77 years.

)E!r(y 0!yment6 2including overpayments in some cases3
) Credit Contro(
) S!(e6 Led"er Admini6tr!tion
) Non Re*our6e Credit 0rote*tion
The first is an E!r(y 0!yment against the credit invoices that they raise. @hen a
business first ta"es up a factoring facility there !ill normally be an outstanding sales
ledger of unpaid invoices. The factoring company !ill ma"e available a prepayment
against these invoices, often up to A>C of their value, and this can create a substantial
cash inection for the business. -s the business continues to raise invoices, they are
passed to the factoring company !ho !ill provide further funds against those invoices.
The factors early payments are then repaid as the invoices are paid by the customers. Inthis !ay the facility is of a rolling nature that !ill gro! in line !ith the sales that the
business ma"es. This can be considerably more attractive than traditional overdraft
lending !hich is often much less fle9ible. These funds can be put to good use !ithin the
business e.g. settling supplier invoices early in order to receive further discounts.
Credit Contro(is a collections service !hereby the factoring company !ill employ letter
and telephone based chasing techni&ues to ensure that payments are received from
customers on a timely basis. Indeed, a factoring company can often improve the overall
debt turn 2the average number of days in !hich sales invoices are paid3 of its client !hich
creates a further cash flo! benefit. The other advantage of outsourcing debtor credit
control is that a factor can often offer this at a fraction of the cost of employing one or
more members of staff. This can translate into another tangible saving for a client. 'ven
!here the o!ners of small businesses handle the credit control themselves, it has to be
carried out during office hours and this is time that the factor can free up for the o!ner,
enabling them to spend that prime time see"ing ne! sales.
S!(e6 Led"er Admini6tr!tionis a service !hereby the factor !ill create and maintain a
debtor sales ledger for the clientFs business. -s invoices and cash are received so the

factor !ill post them to the ledger and the factor !ill provide this information to the
client either via electronic lin"s or paper print outs.
Non Re*our6e B!d Debt 0rote*tionis an optional additional service!hereby the factor
!ill insure the client against non payment by customers that the factor has pre4approved.
The client !ill normally advise the factor of the details of ne! customers that they !ish
to trade !ith and the factor !ill investigate the credit standing of that business in order to
grant a credit limit. The client can choose to e9ceed the level of the limit that is granted
but if they trade !ithin the limit they !ill enoy the peace of mind that comes from
"no!ing that they !ill get paid by the factor should the customer go bust or fail to pay by
reason of protracted default.
The number of businesses that use debtor factoring has continued to gro! significantly
year on year and on average a client6s stay !ith their providers for a number of years.
This supports the case for factoring as a cost effective !ay of saving money and raising
!or"ing capital for e9pansion.
C'!r!*teri6ti*6 o1 1!*torin"
Usually the period for factoring is ;7 to B7 days. Some factoring companies allo!
even more than 5>7 days.
#actoring is considered to be a costly source of finance compared to other
sources of short term borro!ings.
#actoring receivables is an ideal financial solution for ne! and emerging firms
!ithout strong financials. This is because credit !orthiness is evaluated based on
the financial strength of the customer 2debtor3. )ence these companies can
leverage on the financial strength of their customers.
(redit rating is not mandatory. $ut the factoring companies usually carry out
credit ris" analysis before entering into the agreement.

FACTORING STRATEGIES
@hen more fle9ible terms factoring begins, the client can increase prices to its customers
by 5C to >C to help cover the cost of factoring.
In many industries, customers e9pect to pay a fe! percentage points higher to get fle9ible
sales terms. - client can see" a cash discount from a supplier in return for prompt
payment, much time from :C up to 57C 2depending on the industry standard3. @hen a
client ma"es cash payment on the day of purchase from suppliers, the client can profit
from a large cash discount.
@ith benefits availing to both the supplier and the customer, the cost of factoring can be
covered by using smart factoring strategies.

Most factors !ill only ta"e clients that commit to transact a minimum financing volume
every month. The advantage of committing to monthly minimums is that the factor !ill
offer the company better terms. The main disadvantage is that if the factored volume

Recourse is a term that defines the ability of a factor to resell the invoices bac" to a client
if an invoice does not get paid !ithin a given period of time. Most factoring companies
prefer to operate in recourse mode. )o!ever, there are a number of factors !ho offer
non4recourse agreements. Under a non4recourse agreement, the factor !ill absorb the
losses on an invoice if the account debtor becomes financially insolvent or ban"rupt. In
effect, non4recourse factors offer some protection against bad debt. -lthough generally
