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 factoring company assesses the creditworthiness of the customers and the overall financial stability of the business. Typically, the factoring rates range from 1% to 5% of the invoice value, but they can be higher or lower depending on the specific circumstances.
