The costs of factoring depend on:
- the amount of your annual sales
- the number of invoices you issue per year
- the creditworthiness and structure of your debtors, as well as the days sales outstanding (DSO) figure
The costs of factoring differ depending on the business concerned. The overall benefits of factoring, however, always outweigh the costs.
The total costs of factoring are composed of the following:
- Factoring fee – depending on the type and scope of the agreed services of Intermarket Bank
- Interest – for the advance payment of accounts receivable
- Limit fee – for granting insurance limits under a payment default insurance policy
- Other fees – for example the e-factoring fee or fees for payment transactions
Example of the costs of factoring for a medium-sized company
The benefits of factoring can best be shown by the example of a medium-sized company. A trading business generates annual sales of EUR 3.5 million. Customers are granted a payment term of 15 days and a 3 % cash discount for payment within 7 days. In effect, customers only pay after 30 days on average. Due to the number of days that receivables remain outstanding (DSO), EUR 291,667 is tied up in accounts receivable. This is why the business does not have sufficient liquidity to pay suppliers promptly and deduct cash discounts.
If, however, factoring is chosen as a way of financing, increased liquidity allows businesses to make use of cash discounts when buying goods from their suppliers.
