FAQ

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.

Factoring is like taking a number apart. It means to express a number as the product of its factors. Factors are either composite numbers or prime numbers (except that 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite).

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.

Forfaiting is the provision of medium-term financial support for the import and export of capital goods. The forfaiter is a third party to transactions that takes on certain risks from importers and exporters in return for a margin.

Disadvantages of Forfaiting Limited Access for Small Businesses: Forfaiting transactions typically involve larger-scale trade deals and minimum transaction sizes, which may limit access to smaller businesses with lower transaction volumes.

Factoring and forfeiting differ in eligible receivables terms and risk coverage. Factoring and bills discounting both provide short term financing but differ in recourse, collection responsibilities, additional services, and treatment of individual bills.

Factoring is commonly referred to as accounts receivable factoring, invoice factoring, and sometimes accounts receivable financing. Accounts receivable financing is a term more accurately used to describe a form of asset based lending against accounts receivable.
