      1.  DOMESTIC FACTORING:
 

With-recourse factoring is the service presently offered by us.  Under this category, besides  finance against the receivables at the agreed percentage, collection of receivables and maintenance of sales ledger are undertaken.  The client's customers are notified of our interest in the factored debt and the customers give an undertaking to pay the value of the debt to us directly on the due date.   We do not assume the credit risk of debts.  In case the customer does not pay the debts on maturity, we will have recourse against the client to recover the amount paid.

 

        2.  UNDISCLOSED FACTORING:

 

is another variant of  FACTORING where the customers of our clients are not notified of the factoring arrangement.  This category of facility is considered depending on the merits of the proposal, at our discretion.  In this type of factoring, maintenance of sales ledger and collection of debt are undertaken by the client himself.   The client undertakes to pay the value of the debts factored on the due dates irrespective of the fact whether the customer has paid the debts or not.  This facility is considered on a selective basis only.

In Export Factoring, the Export Factor appoints an Import Factor, who provides credit protection / exposure limits for a particular importer and only upon such approval the Export Factor provides financial assistance to the Indian Exporter. In view of this there is no requirement of a letter of credit or a credit insurance cover.

The Exporter signs a factoring agreement with the export factor. The factor then becomes responsible for all aspects of the factoring operations.
          

The export factor enters into an agreement with a correspondent to serve as an import factor in the country where goods are to be sold. 
             


The import factor investigates the credit standing of the buyer and establishes lines of credit. This allows the buyer to place an order on open account terms without opening letters of  credit. The receivables are assigned to the import factor.
                                           


The export factor will now advance up to 80 to 90 % of the invoice value to the exporter. 
         



On the due date the import factor collects the full invoice value and is responsible for the swift transmission of funds to export factor who then pays the exporter the outstanding balance.

Exporter to provide the required information in the prescribed format (e-mail format) for obtaining the Preliminary Credit Cover. 
                        



Upon receipt of preliminary credit cover the exporter to execute an Export Factoring Agreement and Credit Protection Arrangement.        
           



Immediately upon execution of the above agreements CBF will write to "Import Factor" to provide "Definite Credit Cover."          
             




Import Factor will send an "Introductory Letter" format, which has to be typed in the Exporter's Letter Head and sent to the Importer for his acceptance. The importer has to accept the "Introductory Letter" and fax it back to Exporter, CBF and to our local Import Factor.          
          



CBF will inform the Import Factor the fact of the formality of "Introductory Letter" acceptance has been completed.              
             



At this point of time, the "Import Factor" sends a "Definite Cover" and upon receipt of this advice, he is responsible for collection of the receivable and we can "Factor" the Invoice and release the pre-payments.                   
          



The exporter has to handover all the original documents to CBF, who will factor the invoice and send the original documents to importer directly with a copy to import factor.            
           


Ideally all the above formalities have to be taken up by the exporter while he has to continue his existing arrangement with regard to Export Finance. When once the definite credit cover is obtained and the connected formalities are completed, the exporter can switch over to "Export Factoring"
