Dis-Advantages
Your customers will know that you are factoring as the invoice itself will be payable direct to the lender. To discount your debtor book on a confidential basis then you need an invoice discounting facility. Other dis-advantages are:
- The profit margin of each invoice is reduced. Costs should be compared against other commercial finance options.
- After any agreed minimum term, should you wish to close the facility any unpaid invoices will need to be settled.
- The factoring company will be dealing direct with your customers, make sure the chosen lender has a good customer service record and won't damage your reputation.
- If you do not have the non-recourse factoring option then you will still be responsible for any bad debts.
- The factor can reject any customers who they believe to be a bad credit risk.
