Turn outstanding invoices into cash flow with factoring from Factris.

What is factoring?

Factoring is an increasingly popular alternative method of financing for entrepreneurs. But what is factoring and how exactly does it work? Simply put, factoring is the way to receive money at short notice for work carried out for which the invoice sent has not yet been paid. This way, as an entrepreneur, you no longer have to take into account the payment term and have the relevant amount at your disposal within 24 hours. It makes factoring ideal for small businesses and freelancers who need to bridge the gap between when the work is completed and when they get paid for it.

Factoring meaning

The definition of factoring is “the business activity of selling debtors to a financial institution at a discount to obtain cash.” In other words, the moment you invoice invoices, you essentially sell them to a third party (the factor) – in this case, Factris – at a small discount. The factor then pays you the full amount of the invoice, minus their fee, after which the factor assumes the risk of collecting payment from your customer.

How does factoring work?

In most cases, when a company sells products or services on credit, the buying party has 30 days to pay. In the meantime, however, the selling company still has to pay its own suppliers and employees, even if the customer has not yet paid. This can create a cash flow problem for companies in some cases. Factoring solves this problem by allowing the company to advance the amount owed by the customer. Factris thereby buys the invoice, becomes the owner of the invoice, and ensures that the outstanding amount is collected. This ensures that the selling company is no longer dependent on the 30-day payment period, allowing the amount receivable to be reinvested directly in staff, bills, and other business matters.

So how exactly does factoring at Factris work?

When you use Factris factoring, you sell your invoice to us. Fortunately, our software allows you to upload all your invoices in no time. Based on your preference, we will buy all or part of your invoices. This way, you convert outstanding and future receivables into working capital for your business at lightning speed. Because the outstanding invoice is now ours, we take care of the collection and credit insurance. So you are insured against insolvency and non-payment. This costs only a small fee, which we deduct from the value of the invoice.

Types of factoring

In total, three forms of factoring can be distinguished: traditional factoring, American factoring and reverse factoring. But what actually characterizes these different types of factoring, and to what extent do they differ from each other?

American factoring

Americain Factoring is the most common and simple form of factoring. The main difference from traditional factoring is in the number of invoices sold to the factor. Whereas with traditional factoring all invoices are sold, with Americain Factoring you have the choice of which invoices you do and do not sell. The flexibility of this type of factoring makes many companies qualify for Americain Factoring faster than traditional factoring.

Traditional factoring

Traditional factoring is the original form of factoring. In traditional factoring, the factor buys all the company’s debtors for a percentage of their total value. The factor then assumes responsibility for collecting payment from the customer.

Reverse Factoring

Reverse Factoring is a form of factoring used by companies that are owed money by other companies (called “buyers”). In this case, the buyer agrees to pay for its goods or services within a certain time, and the factor pays the firm immediately. The factor then charges the buyer a fee for this service.
