Factoring
Financing against concession of monetary claim at the Bank – factoring, is done in two ways – by means of classical and recourse factoring.
Classical factoring – a short-term financing instrument, in case of which the Factor delivers or undertakes to deliver to the client monetary funds against concession of the Client’s monetary claim towards the Debtor, which results from supply of goods or provision of services to the Debtor by the Client or performance of works for the Debtor, and the Client concedes to the Factor or undertakes to concede the respective monetary claim.
Types of classical factoring:
- Closed factoring – in case of this type of factoring the Debtor isn’t notified about the factoring transaction and doesn’t bear responsibility for proper performance of the factoring obligations.
- Open factoring – in case of this type of factoring the Debtor is notified that there is a Factor in the transaction and makes all payments at the Factor’s expense, thereby performing his/her obligations caused by purchase of goods/receipt of services or works.
- Classical factoring without regress, in case of which, if the amount payable by the Debtor to the Bank isn’t paid, then the Client bears no liability towards the Bank.
- Classical factoring with the right of regress, in case of which the Bank has the right of regress towards the Client, which means that if the Debtor fails to perform his/her monetary obligation towards the Bank, then the payment is made to the Bank by the Client.
Recourse factoring - a short-term financing instrument, in case of which the Factor provides funding to the Client’s suppliers against concession of the suppliers’ monetary claim towards the Client, which results from supply of goods, provision of services, or performance of works for the Client by the suppliers, and the Supplier concedes to the Factor or undertakes to concede the respective monetary claim.
Conditions of financing by factoring:
In order to make use of factoring, the commercial relations between the Debtor and the Supplier should meet the following conditions:
- The commercial relations between the Debtor and the Supplier started minimum 6 months ago and at least two supplies have been made, for which full payment is done.
- Supply of goods/provision of services/performance of works is of continuous character and isn’t a one-off transaction.
- The maximum period of deferment of the payment receivable for supply of goods/provision of services/performance of works is 120 days.
