Reverse Factoring
Reverse Factoring is also referred as supply chain finance.
Only difference between factoring and reverse factoring is who originates the factor transaction.
If supplier initiates it by selling their accounts receivable then its factoring
If ordering party initiates with factor agent (third party) then its a reverse factoring.
Example-
American company sells tonnes of soya/corns per trade with Dhofar Cattle feed and raises commerical invoice of 1 Million USD and invoice due date is 90 days from the date of purchase.
Dhofar cattle feed (Buyer) can initiate a request with banks/financial institutions indicating fund 80% of invoice value before due date to its sellers
in this arrangement banks will fund to seller based on buyers instruction and charges nominal fees from seller
