How Does Factoring Work? Factoring is a transaction in which a business sells its invoices, or receivables, to a third-party financial company known as a âfactor.â The factor then collects payment on those invoices from the businessâs customers. Factoring is known in some industries as âaccounts receivable financing.â. The main reason that companies choose to factor is that they want to receive cash quickly on their receivables, rather than waiting the 30 to 60 days it often takes a customer to pay.
Giraffes ruminate day or night, with periods of sleep in between. Giraffes also rest with their eyes open, standing or lying for three to five minutes at a time. Throughout the night, a giraffe may deeply sleep for five to 10 minutes lying down, yet they rarely sleep more than 20 minutes total per day.
This is not a âjungleâ either: it is dry scrubland and open deciduous forest. Not only do lions not live in the jungle, âtonightâ is the least likely time for them to be sleeping. Outside the mating season, they spend 20 hours a day lying down and snoozing, two hours walking and just under an hour eating. However, what hunting they do generally takes place at night. Lions can run at 50mph for short distances. During the mating season, lionesses have sex up to 50 times a day for four days and nights in a row with as many as five males â but each bout lasts only ten seconds. Up to 8% of lion mountings are thought to be homosexual.
