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.
Factoring without recourse means that the risk of accounts receivable being uncollectible transfers from the buyer to the seller. Basically, if an accounts receivable cannot be collected, the seller does not have to reimburse the buyer like they would if the factoring was “with recourse”.
When a company factors receivables it means that they sell them to another party. If the transaction is without recourse that means the buyer takes on all the risk of credit losses. The seller of the accounts receivable does not bear any risk after the sale is complete.
An example of a without recourse note is a personal check written by A, the maker, to B, the payee. B, in turn pays off a debt to C by endorsing the check and adding the without recourse phrase.
"Without recourse" means that one party cannot obtain a judgment against, or reimbursement from, a defaulting or opposing party in a financial transaction. When the buyer of a promissory note or other negotiable instrument enters into a "no recourse" agreement, they assume the risk of default.
