Factoring or Invoice Discounting?

The major difference regards who is responsible for chasing the sales ledger. Sometimes a client will prefer the factoring provider to do the chasing so that in effect they become an outsourced accounts department and sometimes they will prefer to do it themselves.

Factoring: The factoring provider collects money directly from clients.

Invoice Discounting: Here it is left to the company to collect the money directly from their own clients.

Confidential Factoring: This is a kind of half-way house between the above two arrangements. This is where the factoring company collects payments on behalf of the customer but acts in their name.
