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.
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.
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.
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.
Without recourse is a phrase meaning that one party has no legal claim against another party. It is often used in two contexts: In litigation , someone without recourse against another party cannot file a lawsuit (sue) that party, or at least cannot obtain adequate relief even if a lawsuit moves forward.
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.
