All factoring companies require written notice to terminate the contract. The expectation is usually 30 – 60 days prior to the renewal date. You will need to verify whether your notice to terminate needs to be delivered via mail or if electronic notice is acceptable.
To cancel or terminate a factoring agreement, first review the terms in your contract regarding notice periods and potential penalties for early termination. You'll need to formally notify your factoring company, usually in writing, of your intention to end the agreement.
Recourse is more common than non-recourse factoring. Many factoring companies are weary of non-recourse as it means they are liable for debtor non-payment. Still, there are many advantages to working on a recourse agreement for business owners. For one, advance rates are usually higher.
Invoice Factoring without Recourse: Once the invoices are sold to the factoring company, the selling business no longer bears any responsibility for unpaid invoices. From an accounting perspective, the selling business can treat the transaction as a sale of receivables without any ongoing liabilities or obligations.
Two Types of Factoring There are two main types of factoring - recourse and non-recourse. Recourse factoring is the most common and means that your company must buy back any invoices that the factoring company is unable to collect payment on.
