What is invoice factoring?

Invoice factoring converts approved invoices to early cash through assignment. The agreement—not the label—controls fees, recourse, and collection rights.

How invoice factoring works

The basic process starts with an invoice, customer verification, an advance, customer payment, and reserve settlement.

Recourse vs non-recourse factoring

Recourse factoring generally shifts more non-payment risk back to the seller, while non-recourse factoring may limit that risk to defined credit events.

Spot factoring vs contract factoring

Spot factoring usually refers to funding selected invoices, while contract factoring covers a broader relationship or ongoing receivable stream.

Advance rate explained

The advance rate is the percentage of an approved invoice paid upfront before the customer pays.
