Factoring is a form of asset-based finance where the credit is extended based on the value of the borrower's accounts receivable. In recent years factoring has experienced phenomenal growth and has become an important source of financing--especially short-term working capital--for small and medium-size enterprises and corporations, reaching a worldwide volume of 760 billion euro in 2003. Although the importance of factoring varies considerably around the world, it occurs in most countries and is growing especially quickly in many developing countries. Bakker, Klapper, and Udell explore the advantages of factoring over other types of lending for firms in developing economies, and discuss the informational, legal, tax, and regulatory barriers to its growth. They also examine the role of factoring in the eight Eastern European countries that became EU members on May 1, 2004--the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Slovak Republic, and Slovenia, referred to as the EU 8. The authors conclude that factoring offers key advantages over other lending products and is likely to become more important in these countries, and suggest policies to accelerate its development. This paper--a joint product of the Finance Team, Development Research Group and the Private and Financial Sector Development Department--is part of a larger effort in the Bank to study access to financing.

"Around the world, factoring is a growing source of external financing for corporations and small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). What is unique about factoring is that the credit provided by a lender is explicitly linked to the value of a supplier ' s accounts receivable and not the supplier ' s overall creditworthiness. Therefore, factoring allows high-risk suppliers to transfer their credit risk to their high-quality buyers. Factoring may be particularly useful in countries with weak judicial enforcement and imperfect records of upholding seniority claims because receivables are sold, rather than collateralized, and factored receivables are not part of the estate of a bankrupt SME. Empirical tests find that factoring is larger in countries with greater economic development and growth and developed credit information bureaus. In addition, the author finds that creditor rights are not related to factoring ... " -- Cover verso.

The purpose of this thesis is to present factoring as an alternative form of financing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to show how the Swiss factoring market looks like. After an introduction to the factoring service, its functions, advantages and drawbacks, this paper focuses on identifying the profile of a company for which factoring is an appropriate service. This is done both from a factor's and a company's perspective. The analytical part follows and refers to a survey of Swiss factors associated in the Schweizericher Factoringverband. Factoring companies give an overview of the Swiss factoring market, including what type of factoring is popular in Switzerland, why firms decide to use it, what is important for factors when deciding whether to finance a client. Moreover, it presents the expectations about the future development of the service. The factoring market is still a niche market when it comes to the share of Swiss GDP. The main conclusion from the research is that factoring in Switzerland is following worldwide trends and characteristics of the service. The results are mostly in line with other analyses that were done based on data from UK and US. The factoring market is growing in Switzerland and worldwide. The outlook for the future is positive and further growth is predicted. Future developments, like introduction of Basel III, can make the service even more attractive. The main barrier for the development of the Swiss factoring market is the lack of awareness of the factoring service.

Following a definition and distinguishment of fine trading, factoring and reverse. Advantages and disadvantages are being explained as well. Finally, the influences on the balance sheet of the involved parties and on working capital are investigated. Ten years ago, from 2007 to 2011 the global financial and the euro crisis have caused a peak in bankruptcies of many companies and even states have experienced financial difficulties. Since 2011, the total number of companies’ bankruptcies declines. In 2016, there were 21,518 insolvencies of companies in Germany. In contrast to this, in 2010, at the peak of the crisis there were 32,687 insolvencies. Overall, most of the companies in Germany are small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). In 2014, they represented 99.3 percent of all companies in Germany. A proper working capital management is essential for all companies. Especially, SME are otherwise threatened to lack of liquidity or risk to become insolvent. Company funding has experienced profound changes lately. Basel I-III have extensively changed the regulatory circumstances for banks and their granting of credits. Banks must comply with changed regulatory capital and liquidity requirements as well as with new debt caps. This has a strong influence on company funding. Therefore, the rating of a firm and the risk of an investment will increase the price of the company funding. The changed importance of working capital management and the new regulatory requirements have altered companies’ financing possibilities and partners. Moreover, the financial crisis has revealed their dependency on certain bankrollers. Thus, other methods of financing suchlike factoring, fine trading, leasing and crowdfunding increased their importance. This paper examines fine trading and factoring regarding their differences, advantages, disadvantages and the methods’ influence on the balance sheet.
