Purpose: Factoring is typically used to obtain short-term financing, while forfaiting is used to manage long-term trade receivables. Types of assets: Factoring involves the sale of accounts receivable, while forfaiting involves the sale of trade receivables, such as promissory notes and bills of exchange.
A forfaiting agreement is entered into once the export is selected. Step 2: An agreement is made between the two parties--importer and exporter. Step 3: The importer secures a guarantee from his local bank to facilitate the trade. Step 4: The exporter ships the package of goods.
Factoring primarily involves the sale of receivables related to ordinary goods and services. Conversely, forfaiting is specifically concerned with the sale of receivables on capital goods.
