Factoring is an arrangement where a business sells its accounts receivables to a factoring company in exchange for upfront cash. This provides the business with working capital to meet its needs. There are different types of factoring like full recourse, non-recourse, and maturity factoring. Forfeiting is a mechanism to finance exports by discounting export bills of exchange or promissory notes without recourse to the seller. It involves six parties - exporter, importer, exporter bank, importer bank, Exim bank, and forfeiter. Forfeiting follows eight steps from the commercial contract to payment on maturity. It provides benefits to exporters like hedging risks and converting deferred payments into cash.
