Types of Debtor Finance
Debtor finance products, by whatever name, essentially fall into two categories:
- Confidential: the customer/end-user is unaware of the funding being provided, usually called 'invoice discounting',
- Disclosed: traditionally referred to as 'factoring', where invoices have a notice that warns the customer to pay the funds to the financier in settlement of the debt.
Export factoring is a highly specialised and selective form of factoring, and can provide non-recourse funding to exporters, paid at the time of shipment, and with solvency of the overseas importer underwritten by an overseas bank or institution.
Under each category there are a number of financiers, all with varying policies and guidelines regarding their procedures, security, pricing and target markets. There are providers of import and export factoring, and their conditions vary widely.

“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds....

—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
