How does it work?
Receivables Financing is a unique product that addresses a specific trade credit use case in India. When a consumer swipes a credit/debit/ATM card, the amount is deducted from his/her account immediately. However the merchant (receiver) has to wait 1 day for these funds to reach their account from the bank. This 1 day capital gap causes cash flow issues in businesses. Receivables Financing provides 1 day loans to business that want to reduce their cash flow impact while waiting for transactions to settle from the day prior.
TradeCred uses technology to solve this problem for merchants. Strong risk management around transactions, authenticated by National Payments Corporation of India is used as part of the process to determine merchants that are suitable for these types of loans.
TradeCred works with a registered payment intermediary/ private ATM operator who gives real time settlement to merchants/ATMs post which the the money is received by TradeCred in its escrow account the following day. A payment intermediary is someone who manages the ecosystem of transactions between multiple banks and merchants. For example, one well known payment intermediary in India is Paytm.
Risks?
There is active risk mitigation in place for Settlement Financing investments. All transactions are originated post biometrics or 2FA (Two Factor Authentication). Default risk is low given that there is a bank on the other end who is ultimately paying.
FAQs
1. How does receivables financing work?
Ans. In receivables financing, a business first provides goods or services to its customers and generates invoices. Instead of waiting for customers to pay, the business sells these invoices to a factoring company or financial institution, which advances a portion of the invoice value (typically 70-90%). When the customer pays the invoice, the factoring company forwards the remaining amount, minus a fee.
2. What are the benefits of receivables financing?
Ans. Receivables financing provides businesses with immediate access to cash, improving liquidity. It helps stabilize cash flow, fund operations, and support growth. It's also accessible to businesses with limited credit history or poor credit, as approval is based on the creditworthiness of the business's customers.
3. Is receivables financing suitable for all types of businesses?
Ans. Receivables financing can benefit various types of businesses, especially those with slow-paying customers or seasonal cash flow fluctuations. It's commonly used in industries like manufacturing, distribution, and services. However, it may not be ideal for businesses that rely heavily on advance payments or businesses with a consistently high cash flow.
4. How do the fees in receivables financing work?
Ans. Factoring fees typically consist of a discount rate applied to the face value of the invoice. The rate varies based on factors like the creditworthiness of the business's customers, the volume of invoices, and the factoring company's policies. Businesses should carefully review fee structures to understand the total cost.
