How does Invoice Financing/Factoring differ from Confidential Invoice Discounting?
Both services provide finance against debtor balances outstanding. In invoice financing/factoring the administration of the sales ledger and the collection of debts is handled by the funder. Because of this your clients are aware that you are factoring your debts.
Under an invoice discounting service, confidential or disclosed, the business continues to administer the sales ledger and the service can be invisible to the client.
