the structure, terms and conditions of such a

transaction may vary in any number of ways, as

evidenced by the array of factoring programs currently

available.

Factoring Definitions

• Factoring is a transaction in which a business sells its invoices, or receivables, to a third-party financial company known as a “factor.” The factor then collects payment on those invoices from the business’s customers.

• Factoring is also called “Purchase of Receivables”.

• The main reason that companies (Sellers) choose to factor is that they want to receive cash quickly on their receivables, rather than waiting the 30 to 60 days it often takes a customer (Obligor/Account Debtor) to pay.

Page 31: A Workshop Program Designed for SMEs - AMBD SME Presentation.pdf · A Workshop Program Designed for SMEs 1 Bob Trojan and Adalberto Elias NatLaw September 16th & 17th, 2019. ... local

Factoring Definitions

• When factoring an invoice, the factoring provider advances to you (Seller) a percentage of that invoice value, usually within 24 hours. The factor will then pay the balance of the invoice, minus fees, after it collects payment from the customer (Obligor/Account Debtor).

• The cash advance rate can vary depending on what industry the client (Seller) company is in and which factor is chosen. The advance rate can range from 80% of an invoice value to as much as 95%. The client (Seller) industry, the customers’ (Obligor/Account Debtors’) credit histories and other criteria help determine the advance rate received. 31

Page 32: A Workshop Program Designed for SMEs - AMBD SME Presentation.pdf · A Workshop Program Designed for SMEs 1 Bob Trojan and Adalberto Elias NatLaw September 16th & 17th, 2019. ... local

Factoring Benefits

• Boosting cash flow is the main reason most companies factor.

• Factors provide free back-office support, including managing collections from customers.

• Factoring is based on the quality of the customers’ (Obligor/Account Debtors’) credit, not the client’s (Seller’s) credit or business history.

32

Page 33: A Workshop Program Designed for SMEs - AMBD SME Presentation.pdf · A Workshop Program Designed for SMEs 1 Bob Trojan and Adalberto Elias NatLaw September 16th & 17th, 2019. ... local

Factoring Benefits

• Factoring can be customized and managed so that it provides necessary capital it is needed (seasonality).

• Factoring is not a loan, so no debt is incurred debt when factoring.

• Factoring is scalable, meaning the amount of funding can grow as receivables grow.

Companies engaged in the business of buying accounts

receivable are called "Factors." It often exhibits a

flexibility and entrepreneurial awareness whose

activities are more generally restricted by regulation

and prevailing law.

Companies selling their receivables are typically

referred to as "clients" or "sellers" (not "borrowers").

The client's customers, who actually owe the money

represented by the invoices, are generally known as

"account debtors" or "customers.“

Characteristically, there seems to be no industry-wide

term of art to describe the actual event that occurs

when a Factor accepts invoices for purchase. Common

terms for this event include: "schedule," "funding,"

"advance," "assignment" and "transaction."

Difference between factoring and commercial lending

Factoring differs from commercial lending because it

involves a transfer of asset (account receivable) rather

than a loan. In assessing risk, financial institutions look

primarily to the quality of the asset being purchased (i.e.

the ability to collect client receivables), rather than to the

underlying financial condition of the seller/client. Suitable

vehicle for growing businesses when traditional commercial

borrowing proves either impractical or unavailable.

Factoring vs. Accounts Receivable (A/R) Lending

Although factoring is occasionally confused with

accounts receivable (A/R) lending, it actually differs

both legally and operationally.

LEG

ALLY

Factoring AR Lending

A factor takes immediate title

to the invoices it purchases.

An A/R never takes title to

invoices unless and until the

borrower defaults on its loan

agreement.

With the transfer of title, the

factor purchases the right to

collect payments directly from

account debtors, who thus

become legally obligated to the

factor.

An A/R loan does not legally

obligate account debtors to pay

the lender directly, except

when the lender notifies them

of a default by the borrower.

Factoring AR Lending

The Factor concentrates on the

aging, collection, and posting of

each factored invoice.

The A/R lender does not track

the payment status of every

individual invoice generated by

the borrower in the normal

course of business.

The factor will find it necessary

to contact individual account

debtors directly as a matter of

course.

An A/R lender will have

virtually no interaction with

individual account debtors.

52

Recourse vs Non-recourse

What happens when an account debtor becomes

financially unable to make payment for an

outstanding invoice that a factor has purchased?

The answer depends on whether the Factor operates on

a Recourse or Non-recourse basis.

Factoring

53

A Recourse transaction allows the Factor to make claims

against the client in order to recover losses caused by

account debtor insolvencies. Recourse factoring

agreements generally require the client to repurchase any

invoices that remain unpaid after a certain number of days

(typically 60 or 90).

Factoring

54

In a Non-Recourse transaction, the Factor purchases the

underlying credit risk associated with each factored

invoice. The client incurs no liability to the Factor if the

account debtor proves financially unable to make

payment. In such an event, the Factor either absorb the

loss, or enforces action against the account debtor.

Supply Chain Finance (SCF)

Cash Conversion Cycle or CCC is the number of days that a business

entity takes to convert its input resources into liquid cash flow. This

metric aims to measure how much time a company takes to sell its

inventories, collect its receivables and pay off its bills without any

delay penalty being charged. Every dollar that is tied up to the

process of production till it is recovered as sales are scrutinized to

calculate the cash cycle of an entity. A lower number of days are the

most desirable when it comes to Cash Conversion Cycle.

CALCULATION

The length of a cycle can be measured using the following formula:

CCC = DIO + DPO + DSO Days

Where,

DIO = Days Inventory Outstanding

DPO = Days Payables Outstanding

DSO = Days Sales Outstanding

Objective: To provide working capital to Supplier by

enabling sale of account receivables on open

account terms – while enabling buyer to

improve working capital, or get better returns

on their cash

Most popular: Reverse Factoring - Supplier funded

through early payment (invoice amount less

discount fee) on Buyer approved invoices

Funded by a Bank, or Non-Bank financial

institution (Payables Financing)

Supply Chain Finance (SCF) Concepts

• A set of technology-based business and financing processes that link the various parties in a transaction – the buyer, seller, and financing institution

• SME suppliers receive financing in relation to their receivables (money for goods/services delivered) by a process that is started by the ordering company

• Allows the supplying company (SME) to receive better finance terms than it would otherwise be able to receive from a lender

• The deal is based entirely on the credit-worthiness of the “Anchor” buyer

Supply Chain Finance (SCF)

Simply put, Reverse factoring is when a lending institution,

interposes itself between a Buyer and its Suppliers, and commits to

pay the Buyer’s Accounts Payables (its Suppliers 'accounts

receivables) at an accelerated rate (often termed as “early pay” in

exchange for a discount, primarily driven by enabled technology

platform.

The Funder as a Paying Agent, funds a Buyer’s supplier receives in

relation to their receivables (money for goods/services delivered) by

a process that is started by the ordering company (Buyer). It allows

the supplying company to receive early payments on better finance

terms (discount fee) than it would otherwise be able to receive from

a lender on its own merit.

What is Reverse Factoring?

Page 67: A Workshop Program Designed for SMEs - AMBD SME Presentation.pdf · A Workshop Program Designed for SMEs 1 Bob Trojan and Adalberto Elias NatLaw September 16th & 17th, 2019. ... local

Supply Chain Finance (SCF)Reverse factoring, or approved payables finance, allows Supplier to

receive early payment with a discount, on an invoice due to be paid

by Buyer.

Buyer approves the invoice for payment and arranges for early

payment by means of finance raised from a lender, who relies on the

creditworthiness of the Buyer without recourse to the Supplier.

The lender charges a discounting fee to the Supplier (cost of early

pay) lower than what it would normally cost them for financing

receivables.

The arbitrage opportunity on the difference of cost of capital

between large buying organizations and their smaller suppliers makes

these vehicles popular for organizations that may not want to use

their own capital to fund trade payables.

A win-win for Supplier and Buyer

Supply Chain Finance (SCF)

Why is reverse factoring important?

• Suppliers have a difficult relationship with many corporate Buyers

as they dictate their payment terms. Suppliers also do not want

to wait a long time to be funded as they are usually growing

businesses with high capital expenditure costs. Conversely,

suppliers understand the huge opportunity that is presented to

them when faced with a purchase contract from one of these

large entities.

• Reverse factoring started in the car industry, as it allowed car

companies to work more efficiently with their smaller supply

companies. It also assists in industries where payment delays are

the main fear or roadblock to business.

Supply Chain Finance (SCF)

Key advantages of reverse factoring

• The liability of the funder is concentrated on a large credit

worthy company

• It means that a funder does not have to worry about fraudulent

invoices

• There is clarity for all parties on knowing when payment will be

received; so no long or unnecessary delays

• It limits any disputes as both sides have agreed the invoice

• Reduces supplier cash flow demands and management of

invoices

• It is a validated regime, so as soon as both parties have agreed

to an invoice – the supplier is protected in a later non-payment

event

Page 79: A Workshop Program Designed for SMEs - AMBD SME Presentation.pdf · A Workshop Program Designed for SMEs 1 Bob Trojan and Adalberto Elias NatLaw September 16th & 17th, 2019. ... local

Supply Chain Finance (SCF)

• A funder only has one party to collect payment from – which is

usually a large corporate

• Close relationships are created between buyers and groups of

suppliers; allowing new companies to work with large corporates

• There is less administration and chasing for payment

• The agreed rate in relation to the whole invoice is advanced,

compared to in a standard discounting scenario where there is a

percentage advance rate with the collecting of a further sum on

payment

• Liability and risk is assumed by the (usually) larger buying

company, so the rate of interest is lower

Supply Chain Finance (SCF)

Benefits

• A simple system set up and there are lower costs involved to the

supplier. The reason is due to the funder taking credit risk on the

large corporate compared to the small supplier. The financier

behind a scheme may also charge the supplier a couple of percent

of their funding line, to join the reverse factoring scheme.

• Provide a line of finance to companies that was previously

inaccessible. Growing suppliers are able to receive funding

quicker, so assisting with their growth and avoiding any potential

insolvency situation. It also important to note that reverse

factoring less expensive than traditional factoring arrangements.

Supply Chain Finance (SCF)

Benefits to Buyer

• Buyer can have longer payment terms with the

suppliers without having to negotiate any other

consideration such as prices (extension of Daily

Payables Outstanding-DPO).

• Trade payables increase so the buyer experiences

efficiency in daily operations. This further results in

working capital optimization for the buyer.

Supply Chain Finance (SCF)

• Buyers can also take benefits of cash discount

while still paying for the invoice at invoice

maturity date. This requires a pre-arrangement

with the lender.

• An off-balance sheet finance option, the overall

balance sheet of the buyer also looks good with

better ratios of trade payables turnover, days

payables outstanding, working capital turnover,

etc. This helps in raising other sources of finance at

better rates.

Benefits to Supplier

• Receive payments for 100%of invoice value, less discount

fees

• Reduce Daily Sales Outstanding (DSO)

• Suppliers can get faster access to cash at advantageous

rates. This also results in faster cash conversion

cycle from delivery to cash

• Similar to the buyer’s advantage, the overall balance

sheet of the suppliers also looks good and they can get

future finance at better rates.

• Opportunity to discount receivables at a better rate

than other trade finance options by leveraging Buyer

credit

• Early cash without pledging other tangible

collaterals, with the privileges for insurance against

default of the Buyer without extra costs

• Supplier, with credit challenge, gains access to

credit from a financial institution for as long as it

sells products or services to a credit worthy Buyer,

with a prerequisite of undisputed sales and pre

approved invoices
