FAQ
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.
Recourse factoring is typically better for clients with reliable customers and those who want lower factoring fees. Non-recourse factoring is typically better for those with a higher risk of bad debt due to less reliable or riskier customers.
The period of factoring usually extends from 90 to 150 days. In some cases, companies can extend this period beyond 150 days.
What is a Letter of Release (“LOR”)? A letter of release is a legal document provided to customers that releases the factoring company's Notice of Assignment (NOA) and assigns account receivables back to the carrier.
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.
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”.
