Factoring disclosure

What is factoring disclosure?

One key difference between factoring and invoice discounting is that factoring is disclosed.

The credit control function in a factoring facility is outsourced, thus the client has little control over their sales ledger. The factoring company will take responsibility for chasing the debtors regarding the invoice and thus the debtor will know that you are using a factoring financial service. In some cases the company doing the factoring will stamp the invoice sent to the debtor with the details of the factor.

Your customers will not know about you factoring your invoices if you have an undisclosed invoice discounting facility. A number of elements will influence whether the debtor finance facility is disclosed or undisclosed:

• Strength of your business
• Contractual nature of your terms of trading
• Type of industry you are in
• The spread of your customer base

The invoice must also be verified.
