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.
