FAQs

What is Export Factoring?

Export factoring is a comprehensive financial service that combines export working capital financing, credit protection, foreign accounts receivable bookkeeping, and collection services. This service allows for the strategic selling of foreign accounts receivable to Tradewind, a leading export trade finance company, thus enabling exporters to receive immediate cash. This comprehensive solution skillfully merges export working capital financing, credit protection, and accounts receivable management, making it an indispensable financial tool for exporters.

The process of export factoring involves several key steps. Initially, the exporter delivers goods to the overseas buyer and invoices them. The exporter then sells these invoices to the factoring company, which pays an advance, typically 70-90% of the invoice value. Tradewind, standing out among export factoring companies in India, assumes the role of managing debt collection from foreign buyers. Subsequently, after deducting a service fee, the remaining invoice balance is transferred to the exporter.

In India, export factoring is broadly categorized into two types: recourse and non-recourse factoring. Recourse factoring involves the exporter taking the risk of non-payment by the buyer, while non-recourse factoring transfers this risk to the factor. Besides, there are several export finance options in India, like pre-shipment and post-shipment finance, Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECGC) backed financing, and packing credit. Tradewind customizes export finance solutions to suit the specific needs of exporters, cementing its reputation as one of the preeminent export finance companies in India.

International factoring, similar to export factoring, is a financial transaction where an exporter sells its invoices to a factor, who then manages the credit control and collection of outstanding sales from international buyers. Tradewind’s international factoring services include immediate working capital provision, credit protection, and professional ledger management, all tailored for global trade engagements.

Export factoring and export finance are both aimed at supporting exporters, but they operate differently. Export factoring involves the sale of receivables for immediate cash and transfer of credit risk, whereas export finance typically refers to loans or advances provided against confirmed export orders or receivables. Export finance can take various forms, including pre-shipment finance, post-shipment finance, and buyer’s credit, focusing more on funding than on credit management and collections.

When selecting an export factoring company like Tradewind Finance, it’s crucial to assess their global footprint, expertise in international trade, industry-specific insights, and their capability to manage credit risks. The efficiency of service provision, advanced technological infrastructure for account management, and overall financial stability are also key considerations.

Pledging, unlike the services provided by export factoring companies, involves using receivables as collateral for a loan. The company retains control and responsibility for collection. Factoring, particularly as offered by Tradewind Finance, means selling these receivables, thereby shifting the collection responsibility and credit risk to the factoring firm.

Export factoring in India provides immediate cash flow, reduces administration costs, and offers protection against bad debts. It also helps in ledger management and collection services. Export finance, on the other hand, provides much-needed working capital support, helps meet manufacturing and operational expenses, and offers a competitive edge in global markets. Both services enhance creditworthiness and allow for better financial planning. As one of the leading export finance companies in India, Tradewind’s export finance solutions support operational expenses and enable businesses to maintain a competitive edge in the global market.

While export factoring offers numerous benefits, it also has limitations. It can be more expensive than traditional financing due to higher fees. The factor’s control over customer relationships may not always be desirable. Also, it may not be suitable for all types of businesses, especially those with low margins or high levels of disputed invoices. Moreover, factors generally require a good credit history, which might exclude some businesses.
