Organising Work Load and Files
One of the most challenging aspects facing the users of factoring, is how to minimise costs when negotiating with the factor. Factoring is when a firm’s invoices are sold to an outside factor at a negotiated discount. The other point of negotiation is usually the size of the cash advance.
There are numerous things which can influence the factor, when thinking about terms to offer the seller. Many factors are keen on Organising work load and files. If the seller sends a large number of the smaller invoices, the factor has a much bigger job of Organising work load and files in the office.
Another major influence on the factor’s offer is the type of factoring requested by the seller. The major difference is between recourse factoring and non-recourse factoring. Non-recourse factoring is much more expensive as the factor assumes full responsibility of payment by the customer. Should the customer fail to pay, the invoice seller is under no obligation to return the cash advance.
On the other hand, non-notification factoring reduces the requirements of Organising work load and files. In this case, the factor is not obliged to notify the customers and the seller continues with its original bookkeeping arrangements.
