Financing Agreements
Abstract
In the business world, one of the most important issues is how to provide finance for business enterprises. Factoring as one of the common ways of financing through account receivable is used to finance small and medium enterprises. Financing through factoring occurs in the form of a contract between the seller and the factor, and it is based on transfer of debt. By concluding the aforesaid contract, two groups of people are affected. The first group includes the seller and the factor, that is, as a result of the aforesaid contract, a direct contractual relationship is created between them. Their agreement is the primary element in determining their rights and obligations. The second group includes third parties who have no contractual relationship with the factor and the seller. This group consists of debtor who is directly involved in the execution of the contract and third parties other than the debtor like seller’s creditors and subsequent transferees of the same accounts receivable who not are involved directly.
