Indirect Factoring - Reverse Factoring

Large-sized companies which:

• have significant purchase volume;

• need to strengthen commercial relationships with suppliers and to rationalize payment procedures.

• Costs savings through a simplification of the payment procedures to suppliers 

• Real improvement in relations with suppliers

• Optimisation of payment flows

• Use of the supply debt resulting for the supply as an alternative financing source

In Indirect Factoring, it is the transferred debtor who proposes resort to factoring services. This approach has traditionally been used in relations with major industrial groups, resulting in agreements - in many cases exclusive agreements - with the Factor which may also be extended to medium-sized debtors.

On the basis of preliminary assessment of the line of credit attributable to a transferred debtor, the debtor prepares a service proposal to submit to suppliers in agreement with the Factor which offers a number of substantial benefits for the debtor's business:

• rationalization of payments to suppliers, resulting in economies of scale in administration

• possibility of agreeing with the Factor on reversal of economic payments emerging out of relationships set up with suppliers under the agreement

• possibility of using the factoring tool, with or without recourse, as a tool in business negotiations in order to obtain more advantageous terms of payment and/or more competitive purchase prices.
