Factoring is a transaction where a business sells its invoices to an invoice factoring company to gain access to the cash tied up in outstanding accounts receivables. These invoices or receivables are removed from your books and are added to the factoring company's balance sheet at their fair value.
The factoring company is purchasing these accounts receivable at a discount rate and then waiting on your customers to pay the invoice, whether that is 30, 60 or 90 days later.
Here is an example of how a transaction may work.
Note: All advance rates and discount rates or fees are agreed upon while being set up.
Step 1: The business submits their invoices to the factoring company to receive 80% to 95% of the amount of the factored invoices the same or next day. For example, if you sell $100,000 worth of accounts receivables and get a 90% advance, you will receive $90,000.
Step 2: The invoice factoring company holds the remaining 10% or $10,000 as security until the payment of the invoice or invoices has been received.
Step 3: The factoring company collects payment over the next 30 to 90 day period depending on your clients’ payment terms.
Step 4: Once the payment has been received, the factor pays you, (the seller of the invoices), the remaining 10% less the factoring fee, which typically is between 1% and 3% of the total invoice value.
