What is reverse factoring?

Reverse Factoring or Supply Chain Finance (SCF), as it is also well known in the industry, serves to improve working capital for both buyers and their suppliers, releasing cash through increased Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) for buyers and reduced Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) for suppliers. It enables buyers to improve supplier management, negotiate better terms and improve cashflow while suppliers are able to diversify their funding sources, access competitively priced financing, mitigate concentration exposures and improve cashflow forecasting.

Following the Standard Definitions for Techniques of Supply Chain Finance developed by BAFT, EBA, FCI, ICC and ITFA (2016), Supply Chain Finance is defined as the use of financing and risk mitigation practices and techniques to optimise the management of the working capital and liquidity invested in supply chain processes and transactions. SCF is typically applied to open account trade and is triggered by supply chain events. Visibility of underlying trade flows by the finance provider(s) is a necessary component of such financing arrangements which can be enabled by a technology platform.
