This book was released on 2004 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Factoring is a form of asset-based finance where the credit is extended based on the value of the borrower's accounts receivable. In recent years factoring has experienced phenomenal growth and has become an important source of financing--especially short-term working capital--for small and medium-size enterprises and corporations, reaching a worldwide volume of 760 billion euro in 2003. Although the importance of factoring varies considerably around the world, it occurs in most countries and is growing especially quickly in many developing countries. Bakker, Klapper, and Udell explore the advantages of factoring over other types of lending for firms in developing economies, and discuss the informational, legal, tax, and regulatory barriers to its growth. They also examine the role of factoring in the eight Eastern European countries that became EU members on May 1, 2004--the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Slovak Republic, and Slovenia, referred to as the EU 8. The authors conclude that factoring offers key advantages over other lending products and is likely to become more important in these countries, and suggest policies to accelerate its development. This paper--a joint product of the Finance Team, Development Research Group and the Private and Financial Sector Development Department--is part of a larger effort in the Bank to study access to financing.

This book was released on with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Around the world, factoring is a growing source of external financing for corporations and small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). What is unique about factoring is that the credit provided by a lender is explicitly linked to the value of a supplier ' s accounts receivable and not the supplier ' s overall creditworthiness. Therefore, factoring allows high-risk suppliers to transfer their credit risk to their high-quality buyers. Factoring may be particularly useful in countries with weak judicial enforcement and imperfect records of upholding seniority claims because receivables are sold, rather than collateralized, and factored receivables are not part of the estate of a bankrupt SME. Empirical tests find that factoring is larger in countries with greater economic development and growth and developed credit information bureaus. In addition, the author finds that creditor rights are not related to factoring ... " -- Cover verso.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to present factoring as an alternative form of financing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to show how the Swiss factoring market looks like. After an introduction to the factoring service, its functions, advantages and drawbacks, this paper focuses on identifying the profile of a company for which factoring is an appropriate service. This is done both from a factor's and a company's perspective. The analytical part follows and refers to a survey of Swiss factors associated in the Schweizericher Factoringverband. Factoring companies give an overview of the Swiss factoring market, including what type of factoring is popular in Switzerland, why firms decide to use it, what is important for factors when deciding whether to finance a client. Moreover, it presents the expectations about the future development of the service. The factoring market is still a niche market when it comes to the share of Swiss GDP. The main conclusion from the research is that factoring in Switzerland is following worldwide trends and characteristics of the service. The results are mostly in line with other analyses that were done based on data from UK and US. The factoring market is growing in Switzerland and worldwide. The outlook for the future is positive and further growth is predicted. Future developments, like introduction of Basel III, can make the service even more attractive. The main barrier for the development of the Swiss factoring market is the lack of awareness of the factoring service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, The FOM University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, language: English, abstract: A brief introduction of the Basel requirements is outlined. Following a definition and distinguishment of fine trading, factoring and reverse. Advantages and disadvantages are being explained as well. Finally, the influences on the balance sheet of the involved parties and on working capital are investigated. Ten years ago, from 2007 to 2011 the global financial and the euro crisis have caused a peak in bankruptcies of many companies and even states have experienced financial difficulties. Since 2011, the total number of companies’ bankruptcies declines. In 2016, there were 21,518 insolvencies of companies in Germany. In contrast to this, in 2010, at the peak of the crisis there were 32,687 insolvencies. Overall, most of the companies in Germany are small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). In 2014, they represented 99.3 percent of all companies in Germany. A proper working capital management is essential for all companies. Especially, SME are otherwise threatened to lack of liquidity or risk to become insolvent. Company funding has experienced profound changes lately. Basel I-III have extensively changed the regulatory circumstances for banks and their granting of credits. Banks must comply with changed regulatory capital and liquidity requirements as well as with new debt caps. This has a strong influence on company funding. Therefore, the rating of a firm and the risk of an investment will increase the price of the company funding. The changed importance of working capital management and the new regulatory requirements have altered companies’ financing possibilities and partners. Moreover, the financial crisis has revealed their dependency on certain bankrollers. Thus, other methods of financing suchlike factoring, fine trading, leasing and crowdfunding increased their importance. This paper examines fine trading and factoring regarding their differences, advantages, disadvantages and the methods’ influence on the balance sheet.

Book excerpt: Factoring is a complete financial package that combines working capital financing, credit risk protection, accounts receivable, book keeping and collection services. A growing number of companies offer factoring services. Factoring has become well established in developing countries, in particular in those that are highly industrialized. Factoring is now universally accepted as vital to the financial needs of small and medium- sized businesses. Factoring is simply a unique package of services designed to ease the traditional problems of selling on open account. Typical services include investigating the creditworthiness of buyers, assuming credit risk and giving 100% protection against write-offs, collection and management of receivables and provision of finance through immediate cash advances against outstanding receivables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrialisation has brought great benefits to humankind but now, after 200 years of fossil fuel use, land clearance and pollution, the planet’s boundaries are being stretched to their limits. Going beyond these confines would have severe consequences for humankind. To prevent this from happening, government, corporate and community initiatives must focus on reducing the environmental impact of approximately 400 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given that they produce approximately 70% of the world’s pollution, 60% of carbon emissions and have a significant impact on land. To date, research shows that SMEs have been environmental laggards and more needs to be understood to improve sustainability in the SME sector. Broadening the researcher’s methodological focus, beyond traditional singular approaches, improves knowledge generation and better informs policy and practice. This book paves the way by showing the reader that a mixed method research design is able to provide a deep, diverse and holistic understanding of sustainability and SMEs. Importantly, the book also provides an in-depth mapping of mixed method sustainability and SME research at a regional level. As this book is about environmental sustainability framed in a business context, it will be of interest to researchers, academics, students and those in industry who are enquiring about the environmental sustainability of SMEs.

It provides a policy framework for governments to increase micro, small and medium enterprises' access to financial services?one which is based on empirical evidence from around the world. Financial sector policies in many developing countries often work against the ability of commercial financial institutions to serve this market segment, albeit, often unintentionally. The framework guides governments on how to best focus scarce resources on three things: ? developing an inclusive financial sector policy; ? building healthy financial ins
Download or read book A More Complete Conceptual Framework for Financing of Small and Medium Enterprises written by Allen N. Berger and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors propose a more complete conceptual framework for analysis of credit availability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). In this framework, lending technologies are the key conduit through which government policies and national financial structures affect credit availability. They emphasize a causal chain from policy to financial structures which affect the feasibility and profitability of different lending technologies. These technologies, in turn, have important effects on SME credit availability. Financial structures include the presence of different financial institution types and the conditions under which they operate. Lending technologies include several transactions technologies, plus relationship lending. The authors argue that the framework implicit in most of the literature is oversimplified, neglects key elements of the chain, and often yields misleading conclusions. A common oversimplification is the treatment of transactions technologies as a homogeneous group, unsuitable for serving informationally opaque SMEs, and a frequent misleading conclusion is that large institutions are disadvantaged in lending to opaque SMEs.
