What are the different types of Spot Factoring?

Recourse Spot Factoring

A type where the seller is liable if the customer defaults.

Recourse Spot Factoring

In recourse spot factoring, if the debtor fails to pay the invoice, the business that sold the invoice must buy it back or repay the factor, so the credit risk stays with the seller.

Non-Recourse Spot Factoring

A type where the factor assumes the default risk, not the seller.

Non-Recourse Spot Factoring

With non-recourse spot factoring, the factor absorbs the credit risk, so if the debtor doesn't pay, the seller isn't liable. It usually comes with higher fees due to increased risk for the factor.

Domestic Spot Factoring

Spot factoring applied to invoices within the same country.

Domestic Spot Factoring

Domestic spot factoring involves selling single or selected invoices issued to customers within the same country, allowing quick access to cash without international complexities.

What is Spot Factoring?

What is Spot Factoring?

Spot Factoring is a financial solution where a business sells individual invoices to a third party (a factor) in exchange for immediate cash, rather than waiting for customers to pay. This service allows businesses to improve cash flow quickly, factoring only the invoices they choose, whenever they need.

Flexibility and Key Benefits

Unlike traditional factoring, spot factoring does not require a business to sell all its invoices, nor have any minimum volume requirements. Businesses can select specific invoices or customers to factor, making it ideal for one-time, large, or infrequent transactions. It provides fast cash access and more control over which receivables are financed.

Types of Spot Factoring (Recourse and Non-Recourse)

There are two main types: Recourse (the business is liable if the customer doesn’t pay) and Non-Recourse (the factor takes the payment risk if the customer defaults). This gives businesses options depending on how much risk they're willing to keep or transfer.
