Reverse Factoring

Manages the company's payables and payments to suppliers participating in a triangular agreement

Target

For large companies with:

  • a high number of suppliers
  • significant purchase volumes
  • interest in managing trade payables while strengthening commercial relations with suppliers and streamlining payment procedures

Advantages

  • Cost savings by simplifying supplier payment procedures
  • Improvement of relationships with suppliers
  • Payment flow optimisation
  • Use of trade payables as an alternative source of financing

Features

The offer of Factoring services starts from the assigned debtor. This approach has been developed in relations with large industrial groups, giving rise to agreements - often exclusive - with certain factoring companies, but can also be extended to medium-sized debtors.

Benefits
  • streamlining of payment flows to suppliers that are concentrated on a smaller number of counterparties with ensuing economies of administrative scale
  • the possibility of using factoring, both recourse and non-recourse, as a commercial negotiation tool aimed at obtaining more advantageous payment terms and/or more competitive purchase prices, while at the same time giving the supplier an overall service with higher added value
