In non-recourse receivables finance, the factor purchases the receivables from the seller and assumes the full debtor default risk. In a recourse transaction, the debtor default risk remains with the seller. Receivables purchased under a non-recourse agreement can generally be removed from the seller's balance sheet.
An Accounts Receivable Collection Agreement is a contractual provision that designates one party to collect outstanding payments owed to a business by its customers.
If an assignment of accounts receivable is without recourse, the assignee (the factor) assumes the risk of any losses on collections. If the assignee is unable to collect all of the accounts receivable, it has no recourse against the assignor.
In selling the Receivable without recourse the seller guarantees only the existence and validity of the receivable at the time in which the sale is made.
