A factoring agreement involves three key parties: The business selling its outstanding invoices or accounts receivable. The factor, which is the company providing factoring services. The company's client, responsible for making payments directly to the factor for the invoiced amount.
The factor will have the right to terminate the factoring agreement at any time (i.e., not just at the end of the initial or renewal term) by giving usually 30 to 60 days prior written notice to your company. In addition, the factor will have the right to terminate the factoring agreement immediately upon any default.
When it becomes necessary to terminate a client relationship, it is important to confirm this action in a letter to the client to avoid future ambiguity regarding the status of the relationship. Even if you decide to inform the client of your resignation verbally, a follow-up letter evidences the discussion.
Get a Release Letter: Once all obligations are fulfilled, ask for a release letter from the factoring company. This document should state that you have fulfilled all contractual obligations and that the factoring company has no further claim on your invoices or receivables.
