This document discusses two sources of finance: factoring and securitization. Factoring involves a business selling its bill receivables to a third party at a discount to raise funds. Securitization pools assets so they can be repackaged into interest-bearing securities, with interest and principal payments passed to purchasers. Both provide businesses with immediate cash flow but involve costs and risks like higher finance charges, contingent liability, and complexity. Examples of factoring and securitization companies in India are provided.
