Factoring
Factoring
❖Factoring is a financial technique where a specialized firm (factor)
purchases from the clients accounts receivables that result from
the sales of goods or services to customers.
❖In this way, the customer of the client firm becomes the debtor of
the factor and has to fulfil its obligations towards the factor directly.
2. To minimize the risk of bad debts arising on account of non realisation of credit sales.
4. To carry on business smoothly and not to rely on external sources to meet working capital
requirements.
5. To get information about market, customers’ credit worthiness etc. so as to make necessary
changes in the marketing policies or strategies.
Functions of a Factor
1. Provision of finance:
2. Administration of sales ledger:
3. Collection of receivables:
4. Protection against risk:
5. Credit management:

4. Additional source:
5. Advisory service:
❖Maintaining accounts: Preparing and updating sales ledger and providing useful reports to clients
❖Provides Advisory Services: Advises the company related to credit worthiness of buyer, potential
customers, markets etc.

Factoring - Types
❖Recourse Factoring: The factor does not assume the credit risk (risk of non-payment by the debtors).
In other words, if the receivables become bad, i.e. if the customer does not pay on maturity, risk of bad
receivables remains with the seller, and the factor does not assume any risk associated with the
receivables.
❖Non-Recourse Factoring: The factor assumes the risk of non-payment by the client’s customers. The
factor cannot demand any outstanding amount from the client (seller). The commission or fees charged
for non-recourse factoring services are higher than for recourse factoring. The factor assumes the risk
of non-payment on maturity and consequently takes an additional fee called a del credere commission.
❖Advance factoring: In this, advance is paid to the client by factor against uncollected receivables.
❖Maturity factoring: In this, bank collects money from the customer and pays to firm on due date or
before.
Factoring - Types
❖Domestic Factoring: In domestic factoring three parties are involved (the seller, the buyer, and the
factor). In domestic factoring, the factor mediates between the seller and the buyer. All three parties
are located in the same country.
❖Export Factoring: Export factoring is similar to domestic factoring, except there are four parties
involved. There are consequently two factors involved in the transaction, and it is referred to as the
two-factor system of factoring.
❖Full Factoring: In full factoring, the factor performs almost all services of collection of receivables,
maintenance of sales ledger, credit collection, credit control and credit insurance.
❖Disclosed factoring: If factor name is represented on the invoice of the goods or services and asks
customer to pay the factor.
❖Undisclosed factoring: Factor is not mentioned on the invoice of the goods or services by
manufacturer.
Forfaiting
Forfaiting
❖Forfaiting is a method of obtaining long to medium-term funds for a business involved in
international trade. The process consists of a company engaged in exporting the capital
goods, selling foreign accounts receivables like promissory notes or bills of exchange, and
immediately receiving the financing.
❖It is a method of export financing
❖Many exporters pursues sales including foreign buyers
❖A trade finance option exporters use to get immediate cash after shipment
❖Eliminates all kinds of risk but fees are very high
❖They are used by well established large and medium size companies
Forfaiting
❖It is another variant of Factoring
❖Forfaiting is a method of trade financing. In this process, exporters sell their foreign receivables,
either for a long-term or a medium-term, to a forfaiter at a discount.
❖The forfaiter then gets the sum due from the importer on the contracted payment date.
❖A forfaiting transaction occurs on a non-recourse basis. The term ‘non-recourse’ here means that the
forfaiter has no right to recover payment from the exporter in case of default by the importer.

2. Discount Fees:
◦ It is the interest cost payable by the exporter for the entire period of the credit involved
◦ It is deducted by the forfaiter from the amount paid to the exporter against the availed promissory
notes or bills of exchange
3. Documentation Fees:
◦ If extensive documentation is involved & a legal framework is necessary, a documentation may be changed.
Forfaiting – Charges – Small Example
Suresh Ltd. plans to sell a machine from India to Jack LLP in Canada. The proposed selling price is Rs.
5,00,00,000. After the evaluation of Forfaiter, they decided to increase the price to an extent of 6 %.
Buyer agreed and transaction is about to start. Imagine that the commitment fee is 0.8 %; discount fee
is 5 % and documentation fee is 0.4 %. of the actual selling price Find out the three fees.

Bill Discounting
Bill Discounting
❖Bill Discounting is a trade-related activity in which a company’s unpaid invoices which are due to be
paid at a future date are sold to a financier (a bank or another financial institution).
❖Bill Discounting is the process of trading/ selling the bill of exchange/ invoice to the financial
intermediary to avail funds prior to its maturity date against a fees/ interest paid to the finance
company.
❖In simple words, we can say the bill discounting is a source of working capital financing for micro,
small and medium type enterprises.
❖The business is responsible to collect unpaid invoices during maturity. Bills discounting only act as a
source of immediate working capital requirement.
Bill Discounting – Process
• The seller/ exporter sell the goods or services and raise the bill/ invoice to the
Selling & Raising invoice: buyer/ importer.
• The buyer receives the goods and sign/ accept the invoice raised. This means buyer
Buying and accepting bill: obligate to pay the entire amount as per invoice to the seller on the due date.
• The seller approaches his bank or concerned financial institutions with the

Bill Discounting – Process
Bill Discounting – Benefits
❖Reducing the chance of bad debt: Bill discounting reduces the chances of bad debt as the risk of
defaults or non-payment by the buyer/ importer is bored by the intermediary institutions.
❖Improves cash flow: It facilitates the seller to improve the cash inflow and hence avoid cash crunch
during a trade.
❖Cheaper: Typically bill discounting services are provided on a low rate of interest/ fees as compared
to other advanced facilities, therefore, beneficial for sellers.
❖Negotiable and liquid: Since the bill of exchange is a negotiable/ tradable instrument and can be
further rediscounted by the central banks or can be sold to other financial institutions hence
processed quickly. Thus seller will be able to instant backup of funds.
Bill Discounting – Find out
❖A business owner sells goods to Mr. X worth Rs. 20,000 on credit but Mr. X agrees to pay after two
months of purchase. However, the business owner is in urgent need of funds and can’t wait for two
months. Therefore, business owner can discount the bill with the bank for two months before its due
date. For example, if the same trader discounts his bill(s) with a bank offering discount rate @ 12%
p.a. What is the amount, he would receive from the bank?
❖Sukumara Kurup Ltd. sold goods to Chacko worth Rs. 5,00,000 with a credit period of 6 months.
However, the seller cannot afford to wait till 6 months to get the payment. Seller approaches ICICI
bank which would provide invoice discounting service at a discount rate of 15% p.a. Calculate the
amount receivable from the bank.
Factoring Vs Bills Discounting
Leasing
❖Lease finance can be said to be a “contract between lessor and lessee whereby the
former acquires the equipment/goods/plant as required and specified by the lessee and
passes on the goods to the lessee for use for a specific place and in consideration
promises to pay the lessor a specified sum in a specified mode at specific interval and at a
specified place”. [Contract, Lessor, Lessee, Without transfer of ownership]
❖Under the lease financing, an asset can be acquired without incurring the initial
purchase cost by just making payment of lease rentals over a specified period of the lease
contract. [Without initial high cost of purchase]
❖The lease transaction may be broadly equated to an installment credit being extended to
the person using the asset by the owner of the asset, but without transferring the title of
ownership. [Lease rental charged by lessor to lessee]
Leasing terms
❖Lessor – Owner of the asset

Leasing
• Agreement to create a right to use asset
• Main types: Operating, Financial, Sales & leaseback, Leveraged
Next What?
Hire purchase
Hire purchase
Hire purchase is an arrangement for buying expensive consumer goods, where the buyer makes an initial
down payment and pays the balance plus interest in installments.
In a hire purchase agreement, ownership is not transferred to the purchaser until all payments are made.
Hire purchase agreements usually prove to be more expensive in the long run than purchasing an item
outright.
The use of HP is particularly common in industries where expensive machinery is required, such as
construction, manufacturing, plant hire, printing, road freight, transport, engineering and professional services.
It is also used to finance other capital requirements of a business including: Smaller items, cars, photocopiers
etc.
Hire Purchaser: Person who obtains the goods and right to use the goods. E.g. Mukund S
Cash Price: Amount to be paid by buyer if outright purchase is in cash Rs. 5,85,000
Down Payment: Payment made to hire vendor at the time of entering into hire purchase agreement
E.g. Rs. 1,00,000
Hire purchase installment: Amount to be paid by hire purchaser in periodic intervals up to certain
period specified in the agreement to obtain the ownership of the asset purchased E.g. Rs. 7,803
Hire Purchase price: Total sum payable by hire purchaser to obtain ownership (Cash price + Interest)
E.g. Rs. 6,36,000 (4,85,000 + Interest)
Hire purchase - Benefits
Reduced initial cost: HP allows companies to control and deploy assets without significant drain on
working capital
Fixed EMI: Fixed-rate funding makes budgeting easy as the hire purchaser has clear sight of future
expenditures
Easy possession: Since the initial financial commitment is reduced, it is easy to acquire various asset
class and its ownership without any issue
High accessibility: High accessibility of financing for businesses due to the financing being secured
with the leased asset and the asset being owned by the financing company
Hire purchase - Drawbacks
Total cost increases: total sum of capital payments for HP or leasing will be higher than the full
payment on the asset purchase
Long duration: The period of hire purchase will be for long duration resulting in the cost of interest to
be going up
Administrative complexity administrative complexity and costs will be greater if any covenants are
applied to the arrangement - for example, updates on change of equipment locations
Ownership at the end: Ownership of the asset would take place only after the payment of last EMI.
