Factoring agreements involve selling unpaid invoices to a third party at a discount rate. Non-recourse factoring provides protection against unpaid invoices, but factoring fees may be higher than recourse factoring contracts.
For example, if the multiplication between the factors (x+2) and (x+3) results in the expression x 2 + 5 x + 6 , then this resulting expression can be factored back as ( x + 2 ) ( x + 3 ) . In general, factoring in an expression requires trial and error.
In simple terms, a company will send out an invoice to a customer, who will have pre-agreed payment terms. These are usually 30, 60, 90 and 120 day payment terms. A finance company (the factor) will look at the strength of the customers, the borrower and further possible security offered.
In the process of factoring, businesses sell their slow-paying invoices — or accounts receivable — to a third-party factoring company. This company immediately pays most of the invoice amount and assumes the responsibility of collecting the full invoice amount from the customer.
Invoice factoring is when businesses sell their receivables to a third party, called a factor. The factor pays nearly all of the invoice at once to the supplier, then collects payment straight from the buyer.
