Factoring explained simply
And this is how factoring works
Basic procedure.
Factoring is also known as invoice financing. Companies sell outstanding receivables from goods deliveries or services with payment terms to a factoring provider.
The diagram shows classic factoring:
You deliver your goods or provide your services as usual. You continue to issue your invoices directly to your customers.
You submit the invoices to the factor.
The factor immediately pays you the agreed amount.
Your customers transfer the invoice amount directly to the factor.
If a company exceeds the payment deadline, the factor takes care of dunning, collection, and legal action.

In practice, there are various types of factoring. Companies can flexibly combine individual services. Factoring costs are variable and depend on the selected services, credit rating, and volume.
