EXPORT FACTORING Factoring is a receivables management and financing service designed to improve the seller's cash flow and to cover risk. This is best suited for financing trade and unlike other financing services, it normally requires no collateral In recourse factoring, in the event of the buyer failing to pay on maturity, the seller has to pay back the advance obtained from the factor. In non-recourse factoring, the factor provides finance with a credit guarantee for buyers and will bear the bad debt risk in case of financial inability of the buyer to pay.
