FAQ
Receivables purchase agreements (RPAs) are financing arrangements that can unlock the value of a company's accounts receivable. Here's how they work: A "Seller" will sell its goods to a customer (1). The customer becomes an "Account Debtor" since it owes the Seller a Debt for those goods (2).
When a customer purchases merchandise on credit, the accounts receivable balance on the seller's balance sheet is increased from the sale. If the buyer decides to return the goods at a future date, the accounts receivable balance is reduced by the amount of goods it returns to the seller.
Accounts receivable are held by a seller and refer to promises of payment from customers to sellers. These transactions are often called credit sales or sales on account (or on credit). Accounts receivable are increased by credit sales and billings to customers, but are decreased by customer payments.
In nearly all small business sales, the seller will retain the cash and accounts receivables, they will pay off the payables, and deliver the business "free and clear" to you. In larger purchases, the buyers will likely acquire these balance sheet items to provide them with immediate working capital.
What Does Selling Accounts Receivables Mean. Selling receivables is a type of alternative financing option. These invoices are paid by a third-party, factoring companies at a discount, for an immediate payment. Business get the funds right away and resolve their liquidity issues.
Among the terms typically included in the agreement are the purchase price, the closing date, the amount of earnest money that the buyer must submit as a deposit, and the list of items that are and are not included in the sale.
For many business sales, the buyer receives the receivable accounts. Service businesses such as doctor's practices or heating and air conditioning companies that rely on repeat business often must assume the debt to maintain the client base. The buyer assumes the risk as well as the customers.
You can save taxes on sales by keeping accounts receivables. When you maintain receivables, you only pay taxes after receiving income. You also enjoy write-offs for collectible payments. When the buyer acquires accounts receivables, you file the amount as income after-sales.
Also, including accounts receivable as part of the asset purchase agreement can lead to unwanted tension, and possibly litigation, between the buyer and the seller. There is the risk that some of the payors will continue to pay the seller, instead of the buyer, leading to disputes over the after-closing payments.
