business owner sells accounts receivable
at a discount to a third-party funding
source to raise capital.


invoice of RM 1 million from Clothing
Manufacturers Inc., representing outstanding
receivables from Behemoth Co. The factor may
discount the invoice by say 4%, and will advance
RM720,000 to Clothing Manufacturers Inc. The
balance of RM240,000 will be forwarded by the






To obtain cash.
Made money available for investment in
the firm’s growth.
Improved cash flow : Receivables become
current cash in flow and its is beneficial
to the exporters to improve financial
status and liquidation ability so as to
heighten further the funds raising
capability.




defined as the purchasing of an exporter’s
receivables at a discount price by paying
cash. By buying these receivables, the
forfeiter frees the exporter from credit and
the risk of not receiving the payment from
the importer.
In forfaiting, receivables are normally
guaranteed by the importer’s bank, allowing
the exporter to take the transaction off the
balance sheet to enhance its key financial
ratios. Forfeiting typically requires a bank
guarantee for the foreign buyer.


Counter trade is an import / export
relationship between nations or large
companies in which good and/or services
are exchanged for goods and services
instead of money.

There are 3 types of countertrade :
I. Barter.
II. Counter-purchase.
III.Buyback.

Barter.
-It

is the exchange of goods and services for
goods and services without any use of money.
For example, Malaysia might swap palm oil for
steel from another country, say Germany.
Counter-purchase.

- In this, a foreign company, or country,

trades with a nation with the promise that in
the future they will make purchase of a
specific product from the nation. A recent
example of this is the on going trade between
Congo and China where infrastructure is being
traded for a supply of metals.
Buyback.
- A buyback arrangement involves the

repayment of the original price through the
sale of a related product. For example,
Malaysia producer of palm oil sells palm oil in
return to buy the products made using the
palm oil bought from the explorer.
1. Money.
2. Competitive advantage.
3. Balance of trade.
