Reverse factoring is a financial arrangement where a buyer facilitates early payment to its suppliers through a financial institution, which pays the suppliers at a discount in exchange for the buyer’s guarantee of full payment on the invoice’s original due date. Reverse factoring optimizes working capital for both buyers and suppliers within the supply chain by allowing suppliers to receive early payments and enabling buyers to support their suppliers’ cash flow needs.
