FAQ
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.
What are the disadvantages of forfaiting? Forfaiting can be expensive due to higher interest rates and fees. It's limited to international trade and typically requires bank guarantees, making it less accessible for small businesses without strong financial backing.
Difference between forfaiting and discounting Forfaiting is a non-recourse financing arrangement, in which the exporter is no longer liable for the receivables if the importer defaults. Discounting is a recourse financing arrangement, in which the exporter remains liable for the receivables if the importer defaults.
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. You are ultimately responsible for any non-payment. Non-recourse factoring means the factoring company assumes most of the risk of non-payment by your customers.
Letter of Credit (L/C) forfaiting allows an exporter to receive up–front payment for selling L/C–based receivables at a discount on a non–recourse basis.
Forfaiting is a mechanism where an exporter's rights to export receivables such as letters of credit or bills of exchange are purchased by a financial intermediary called a forfaiter without recourse to the exporter.
Factoring is a financial transaction and a type of debtor finance in which a business sells its accounts receivable (i.e., invoices) to a third party (called a factor) at a discount.
