FACTORING

WHAT IS

FACTORING?

Factoring is a service by which the factor finances the client based on the purchase of NON-DUE, SHORT-TERM RECEIVABLES, whether they are existing or future. If you need to turn your overdue and undisputed claims quickly and qualitatively into money, we are here for you!

WHO ARE THE

PARTICIPANTS

IN FACTORING?


  • Assignor/Client, seller of goods and services
  • Factoring company
  • Debtor – buyer of goods and services

WHAT ARE THE

ADVANTAGES

OF FACTORING?


  • IMPROVES THE CLIENT’S LIQUIDITY by providing money in the shortest possible time.
  • DOES NOT BURDEN BALANCE SHEETS of clients since factoring jobs are not recorded as a liability.
  • INCREASE THE VOLUME OF SALES, enabling the client to change the credit policy towards debtors and to give longer payment terms compared to the competition.
  • IMPROVES COLLECTION FROM CUSTOMERS, customers are more disciplined in meeting their obligations when receivables are assigned to a factor.
  • CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COST OPTIMIZATION of the client’s business, since the factor undertakes the performance of all activities related to the administration of claims.

The classic factoring service implies that the client assigns its short-term receivables to the factor. With us, you can realize the assignment of claims based on the turnover of goods and services in the form of:

  • DOMESTIC FACTORING between domestic clients and debtors.
  • INTERNATIONAL FACTORING between domestic and non-resident legal entities.

You can realize domestic and international factoring services through:

  • Non-recourse factoring, when the factor assumes the entire risk of collection of receivables. In case of impossibility of collection of receivables, the factor cannot claim the refund of the given advance.
  • Regression factoring implies that the client responds to the factor for the collectability of receivables on the due date of the receivable, that is, the factor does not assume the entire risk of receivable collection. When this type of factoring is contracted, the factor has the right to demand settlement from the debtor, the assignor or from both participants in the transaction at the same time, within the limits of the liability of the debtor and the assignor, if not otherwise agreed. If the factor has recourse against the assignor, the factor is obliged to return the claim to the assignor.

FUTURE

CLAIMS

If the information about who will be the Receivables Debtor is known in advance, future receivables for the sale of goods and services can also be the subject of factoring. The factoring contract, the subject of which is a future claim, determines the minimum amount and the date by which the claim should arise. The claim arises now when the assignor of the claim has drawn up an invoice for the goods and services it sells to the Debtor under the contract.

REVERSE

FACTORING

Reverse factoring is a variation of classic factoring, which is contracted between the factor and the debtor from the contract for the sale of goods or the provision of services in the country and abroad, based on which the factor assumes his obligation TOWARDS CREDITORS, and has the right to collect from the debtor within the period defined by the contract on the sale of goods or provision of services. Unlike classic factoring, in this transaction the debtor is obliged to secure the consent of the creditor.

COSTS OF

FACTORING TRANSACTION


Based on the concluded factoring contract, the factor pays the client an advance of 60-95% of the receivable amount and calculates the following costs:

  • FIXED COST – commission for the processing of the factoring transaction, calculated once as a % of 0.2-3% on the amount of the advance payment
  • VARIABLE COST – interest, calculated monthly on the amount of the unpaid claim in % of 0.2-3% on the amount of the unpaid claim.
