Factoring is a method of financing a business operation. Money is raised on one of the key assets of the small/medium enterprise - Sundry Debtors.
The paper explains the factoring company makes an advance against individual debtor's invoices, normally within forty-eight hours of the invoices being presented to the factoring company. A fee is charged for this - but the real benefit is that the SME has the use of cash for a considerable period of time earlier than what would have happened if the business has waited for its customer to make payment - say in 65 days time.
