The procedure for factoring contains seven steps:
Step 1: Your company sells to another company and issues invoices with terms ranging from 30 to 90 days.
Step 2: You set up an account with a factor.
Step 3: You provide the factor with your outstanding invoices.
Step 4: The factor advances quick cash based on a predetermined proportion.
Step 5: The debtor settles the invoice.
Step 6: The payment is deposited into a reserve account for the time being.
Step 7: After deducting the costs and amount advanced, the factor wires the remaining sum to your bank account.
