Accounts Receivable Factoring (also known as accounts receivable funding) is the process of assigning your current accounts receivables at a discount to a factoring company providing a source of quick cash to your business. It's a very simple transaction in which you trade an invoice from your receivables for actual cash.
Accounts receivable factoring does not generate debt as the factoring process does not generate a loan. Instead, it is a cash flow optimization tool for your company to meet is current and future payment obligations in a timely and secure manner.
