Invoice Discounting and Bill Discounting comes up with a lot of questions, especially for businesses with long receivable cycles wanting to improve cash flow dealing with it for the first time. Here are clear answers to what we're asked most often.
What's the difference between recourse and non-recourse discounting?
In recourse arrangements, the business remains liable if the buyer doesn't pay; in non-recourse, that risk shifts more to the financier.
Is this the same as a business loan?
No, it's financing against a specific receivable rather than a general-purpose loan.
Does the buyer need to be informed?
Depending on the arrangement, the buyer may need to be notified or may even be involved in confirming the invoice.
What kind of businesses use this most?
Businesses with long payment cycles from large corporate buyers commonly use this to smooth cash flow.
Still Have Questions?
Every business situation is a little different, and Invoice Discounting and Bill Discounting is no exception. If your case doesn't fit neatly into the questions above, it's worth getting a second opinion before proceeding.
