 <\/p>\n

Common freight factoring terms<\/h4>\n

Factoring:<\/u> A process in which a factoring company purchases a client\u2019s invoices and advances a percentage of that invoice quickly to the client. The factoring company then gets paid by the client\u2019s debtor.<\/p>\n

Debtor<\/u>: The company, often a freight broker, contracts with the client for transportation services.<\/p>\n

Consignee<\/u>: The recipient of goods shipped.<\/p>\n

Bill of Lading<\/u>: A receipt listing goods shipped that are signed by the debtor and\/or the client and always by the consignee.<\/p>\n

Rate Confirmation<\/u>: Document sent by debtor\/broker stating the rate agreed upon by the client and debtor\/broker. Generally, it will provide terms of shipment and payment.<\/p>\n

Recourse Factoring<\/u>: The client assumes credit risk on invoices that aren\u2019t collected within a certain number of days.<\/p>\n

Non-Recourse Factoring<\/u>: Factor assumes credit risk on invoices that aren\u2019t collected within a certain number of days. This is generally restricted to highly credit-worthy debtors. It\u2019s only applicable for debtors\u2019 ability to pay, not their willingness to pay.<\/p>\n

Discount<\/u>: A Fee charged on the invoice for advance and servicing.<\/p>\n

Reserve account<\/u>: An account where closed invoice rebate funds are held. Funds from this account would be released to the client on the scheduled release day.<\/p>\n

Reserve Release<\/u>: The scheduled disbursement of funds released from the reserve account to a client.<\/p>\n

Escrow Account<\/u>: The portion of the unpaid invoice not funded.<\/p>\n

Unapplied Cash<\/u>: The funds received from debtors without sufficient remittance information to allow its application against a specific invoice.<\/p>\n

Notification of Assignment (NOA)<\/u>: A legal document notifying a debtor that factor\u2019s client has \u201cassigned\u201d its receivables to factor. The letter instructs the debtor to remit all future payments to factor.<\/p>\n

Recourse Period<\/u>: The time that a factoring company allows for the client to pay an open invoice that the factor has funded (typically 60 or 90 days). This period is also known as the account due date.<\/p>\n

Recoursed Invoice\/Chargeback:<\/u> If a purchased invoice is unpaid after the recourse period, it is required that the invoice be sold back to the client. The unpaid invoice balance will be deducted from the client\u2019s reserve account or future submitted invoices.<\/p>\n
