FACTORING
Due to globalization there are advantages and
disadvantages. If we think the second part, there has been a
slowdown in economic activity globally.
Financial markets all over the world are facing rough weather.
In this scenario, management of cash and receivables is of
utmost importance to both corporate giants and small firms
Many businesses have collapsed for want of liquidity. The
key to success lies in converting credit sale into cash within a
short period of time.
11/27/15

There are many traditional methods such as


bill discounting, consumer credit through
financial intermediaries etc., to raise short
term funds.
Recently, new financial services, such as
FACTORING & FORFAITING, have come
into existence to assist the financing of
credit sales and thereby, help the business
unit to tide over the liquidity crunch .
11/27/15

Factoring is a continuing arrangement


between a financial intermediary known as
the factor and a business concern (the client)
whereby the factor purchases the clients
accounts receivable/book debts either with
or without recourse (option) the client.
This relation enables the factor to control the
credit extended to the customer and
administer the sales ledger.
11/27/15

Besides purchase of accounts


receivables, factor may provide a wide
range of services such as the following:
Credit management and covering the
credit risk involved.
Provision of prepayment of funds against
the debts if agreed to buy.
Arrangement for collection of debts.
Administration of the sales ledger.
11/27/15

Factoring is a collection and finance service


designed to improve the clients (sellers) cash
flow by turning his credit sales invoices into ready
cash.
THE ORIGIN OF FACTORING:
Modern factoring came into existence in the
1920s.
Factoring as financing against receivables got a
good in the 1930s.
But, there was no complete framework of
statutory law for a factoring arrangement.
11/27/15

In the UK, factoring came into


existence in the form of invoice
discounting.
In 1976, the leading factoring
companies of the UK formed the
Association of British Factors (ABF).
Now it is spreading all over the world.
11/27/15

FACTORING MECHANISM
The client sends an invoice to his customer in the usual
way but adds a notification that the invoice is assigned
to and must be paid to the factor with whom he has
made an arrangement.
The client, then submits copies of invoices to the factor
with a schedule of offer accompanied by the receipt,
delivery challan, or any other valid proof of dispatch.

11/27/15

The factor provides prepayment up to 80% of the invoice


value and follows-up with the customers for realization of
payments due.
The balance payment is made immediately on
realisation.
The factor sends a monthly statement of accounts to the
client to keep him informed of the factored invoices.

Factoring charges:
FINANCE CHARGE: Finance charge is computed on the
prepayment outstanding in the clients account at monthly
intervals. Finance charges are only for financing that has
been availed. These charges are similar to the interest
levied on the cash credit facilities in a bank.
SERVICE FEE: It is a nominal charge levied at monthly
intervals to cover the cost of services, namely, collection,
sales ledger management etc. this fee is determined on
the basis of criteria such as the gross sales value, the
number of customers, the number of invoices and the
degree of credit risk represented by the customers etc.
11/27/15

20

Both these charges taken together


compare very favorably with the
interest rates charged by banks and
financial institutions for short-term
borrowings.

11/27/15

21

Advantages of Factoring:
Factoring is beneficial to the client, customers and banks.
BENEFITS TO CLIENT:
The clients credit sales are immediately converted into
ready cash as the factor makes a payment of around 80%
of the factored invoices in advance.
The client can offer competitive credit terms to his buyers
which, in turn, enables him to increase his sales and
profits.
The cash realized from credit sales can be used to
accelerate (speed up) the production cycle.
11/27/15

22

The client is free from the tensions of monitoring his


sales ledger and can concentrate on production,
marketing and other aspects.
With the above point, reduction in overhead expenses
and an increase in sales and profits can be takes place.
Efficient management of one component can have
positive impact on other component. For example, an
increase in liquidity enables the firm to avail of
discounts on purchase of raw materials.
The client can expand his business by exploring new
markets.
11/27/15

23

Benefits to customers (Buyers)


Factoring facilitates the credit purchases of the
customers as they get adequate credit period.

factor.
11/27/15

24

Customers are furnished with


periodical statements of outstanding
invoices by the factor.
Factoring does not impinge (encroach)
on the customers rights.

11/27/15

25

BENEFITS TO BANKS:
Factoring improves liquidity of the clients
and, thereby, improves the quality of
advances of banks. Factoring is not a
threat to banking, it is a financial service
complementary to that of the banks.

11/27/15

IN SHORT:
The exporter ships the goods to the importer.
The exporter assigns his invoices through the export
factor to the import factor who assures the credit risk (as
per prior arrangement).
The export factor pre-pays the invoices.
The importer pays the proceeds to the import factor, who
transfers the amount the export factor.
The export factor deducts pre-payment already made and
other charges and pays the balance proceeds to the
11/27/15
43
exporter.

EXPORTERS BENEFITS

A factor assumes all commercial credit and political risks.

An import factor offers credit risk protection in case the buyer does not
pay invoices within 90 days of the due date.

There is a reduction in the administrative cost as the exporter is dealing


with only one export factor, irrespective of the number of countries
involved.

It enables the exporter to offer open account terms to qualified


customers and compete with overseas suppliers.

Valuable information on the standing of the foreign buyers on trade


customs and market potential is provided to the exporter to expand the
business. This eliminates the cost of gathering credit information.

An import
11/27/15

factor follows the receivables and speeds up the collections. 44

BENEFITS TO IMPORTERS
He can pay invoices in the country locally.
He deals with the local agency, i.e., the import
factor.
Minimum documentation is required.
OTHER THINGS:
Payment is made to the exporter based on the
factoring arrangement.
Domestic factoring commission is charged by
the factor for the services that they render.
It ranges from 1% to 2.5%
11/27/15

45

RBI GUIDELINES:
The RBI issued guidelines in July 1990 to
provide a statutory framework to enable
banks to carry out factoring.
The banks are permitted to set up
subsidiaries/investing factoring companies
jointly with other banks with the prior
approval of RBI.
Banks are also permitted to undertake
factoring departmentally.
11/27/15

46

Factoring companies should not


finance other factoring companies.
A bank can invest in the share of the
factoring companies including its
factoring subsidiaries.
But it should not exceed 10% of the
paid up capital and reserve of the bank
in aggregate.
11/27/15

47

SOME OF THE FACTORING COMPANIES

SBI Factors and Commercial Services (SBI FACS) Ltd. It


was the first factoring in India which started functioning in
April 1991.
It was promoted jointly by the SBI, Union Bank of India &
SIDBI.
Canbank Factors Ltd. Was jointly promoted by the Canara
Bank, Andhra Bank & SIDBI in 1997.
Foremost Factors Ltd. (FFL) it was set up as a joint
venture with National Bank of America in 1997.
Global Trade Finance Ltd (GTF), it was promoted jointly by
Export-Import (EXIM), Bank of India, International Finance
Corporation and West LB, Germany.
11/27/15

48

FORFAITING
The word FORFAIT means in French to relinquish
(Surrender) a right.
In this, an exporter surrenders his right to a receivable
due at a future date in exchange for immediate cash
payment, at an agreed discount, passing all risks and
responsibilities for collecting the debt to the forfaiter.
Forfaiting is the discounting of international trade
receivable on a non-recourse basis.
11/27/15

49

Which means that there is no comeback on an


exporter if the importer does not pay.
A forfaiter deducts interest (in the form of
discount) at an agreed rate for the full credit
period covered by the receivables.
This system was originally used in the Europe
countries in the 1960s. But later it is used all over
the world. In 1992, the RBI approved Forfaiting as
an export financing in India.
11/27/15

50

This is generally suitable for high value exports like heavy


machinery, capital goods, consumer durables, vehicles,
bulk commodities, construction contracts and project
exports.
However, not many exporters have adopted this option,
because the major problem is that the minimum amount
of transaction prescribed by foreign banks offering this
service is $2,50,000.
This amount is too high for an average exporter in India.
This has been reduced
London based West Merchant Bank which is providing
this services in India, has fixed the Minimum amount of
11/27/15
51
transaction at $1,00,000.

VENTURE CAPITAL

VENTURE CAPITAL
The companies engaged in traditional line of
business can easily procure necessary financial
capital from the conventional capital market
sources like PUBLIC ISSUE, MUTUAL FUNDS,
LEASE FINANCING, DEBT INSTRUMENTS,
HIRE PURCHASE ETC.
But, entrepreneurs who engage in risky lines of
business have a great difficulty in mobilizing
capital.
The concept of venture capital came into
existence to help these entrepreneurs.
11/27/15

67

WHAT IS VENTURE CAPITAL

Money provided by investors to startup firms and small


businesses with perceived long-term growth potential.

VC is a fund that is available for investment in an


enterprise which offers the probability of profit
along with the possibility of loss.
This is also called RISK CAPITAL.
The VC comprises two words i.e., Venture &
Capital. Venture is a course of proceeding
associated with risk whose outcome is uncertain.
The word capital here means the financial
resources to start an enterprise.
VC is the capital available for ventures associated
with new technology, products or processes
involving considerable amount of risk.
11/27/15

69

This financing is commonly associated with the


equity investment for a time period in a
small/medium business with high growth
potential, high reward and risk.
THE MAIN FEATURES OF VC:
1. Investments are generally made in equity.
2. Investments are made in new enterprises, using
new technology, to produce new products, in
expectation of higher gains.
3. A VC investor maintains a close contact with an
entrepreneur to safeguard his investment but
does not interfere in the management of the
enterprise.
11/27/15
70

4. Venture Capitalists approach differs from the


stock market investor and the banker. He
continuously keeps a close watch over
business.
5. VC investment is not liquid, A venture capitalist
cannot realize his money on demand. There is
no repayment schedule. The investment is lost
if the enterprise is unsuccessful.
11/27/15

71

VENTURE CAPITAL FUND:


Which is also called as Venture Capital Institution.
It is a financial intermediary between investors
looking for high potential returns and entrepreneurs
who need institutional capital as they are yet not
ready to go the public.
The first step in the venture capital financing
decision is the selection of investment.
11/27/15

72

The starting point of the evaluation


process by the Venture Capital Institution
(VCI) is the business plan of the venture
capital undertaking (promoter).
They should consider feasibility of the
project, project history, track record of the
entrepreneur, market potential, future
turnover, profitability and threats etc.,

STAGES OF FINANCING

1.EARLY STAGE

A. Seed Capital/pre-start capital


B. Start-up Capital

C. Second round financing

2.LATER STAGE
A. Development
Capital
B. Bridge/Expansion
Capital

C. Buyouts

D. Turnarounds
11/27/15

78

A. Seed Capital/pre-start capital

This stage is essentially an applied research


phase where the concepts and ideas of
promoters constitute the basis of a precommercialization research project usually
expected to end in a prototype (trial product)
which may or may not lead to a business
launch.
This phase gradually moves towards the
development phase leading to a prototype
(model) product testing and then to
commercialization.
11/27/15

79

The main risk at this stage is


marketing related. The risk perception
of investment at this stage is extremely
high.
Very few VCIs invest in the stage of
product development. This capital is
called as a seed capital

11/27/15

80

B. Start-up Capital

It is a stage when product/service is


commercialized for the first time in association
with a VCI.
This is the stage when commercial manufacturing
has to commence. VC financing here is provided
for product development and initial marketing.
It includes several types of new products such as:
New business in which the company has good
knowledge and working experience.
New projects by established companies
A new company promoted by an existing company
with limited finance to commercialize new
technology.
11/27/15
81

C. Second round financing

This is the stage at which the product has already


been launched in the market but the business
has not, yet become profitable enough for public
offering to attract new investors.
The promoter has invested his own funds but
further infusion of funds by the VCIs is necessary.
The VCIs provide larger funds at this stage than
the early-stage financing.
This financing is partly in the form of debt also
provided.
11/27/15

82

2.LATER STAGE
This stage of VC financing involves established
businesses which require additional working
capital and for expansion of the business.
The risk and waiting period involved in this
stage are less. Venture capital funds can have
immediate income in the form of dividend or
capital gains.
The different sub-stages of the later stage are:
11/27/15

83

A. Development Capital

It is the financing of established business which


require additional financial support but cannot
take resource to public issue.
This established businesses which have
overcome the extremely high-risk early stage,
have recorded profits for a few years but are yet
to reach a stage when they can go public and
raise money from the capital market
Under this, the VC finance is used to purchase
of new equipment/plant, expansion of marketing
and distribution facilities, re-finance of existing
debt, penetration has a time-frame of one to 3
years and falls in the medium risk category.
11/27/15
84

B. Bridge/Expansion Capital
This finance by VCIs involves low risk
perception and a time-frame of 1 to 3 years.
Venture Capital undertakings use such finance
to expand business by way of growth of their
own productive asset or by the acquisition of
other firms/assets of other firms.

11/27/15

85

C. Buyouts
Which implies transfer of management control. They
fall into two categories.
(i)Management Buy Outs (MBOs): In this VCIs provide
funds to enable the current operating
management/investors to acquire an existing
product (line)/business.
(ii) Management Buy Ins (MBIs) are funds provided to enable
an outside group {of manager(s)}to buy an ongoing company.
They brings 3 elements together: a management team; a target
company and an investor
11/27/15

86

D. Turnarounds

Which involve buying the control of a sick


company.
Two kinds of inputs are required in this, they are
MONEY AND MANAGEMENT.
The VCIs have to identify good management
and operations leadership in this.

11/27/15

87

BENEFITS OF VENTURE CAPITAL


TO THE ENTREPRENEUR:
Fills the gap in the owners fund in relation to the
quantum (a required or allowed amount, especially
an amount of money legally payable in damages) of
equity required in the launching of the new business.
Helps the enterprises to get their working capital
requirement.
Assists the entrepreneurs to recruit professionally
qualified and skilled personnel to carry out

Once Again, Anti-Investor Move, To Revive Investor Sentiment!

How did the capital market regulator react to one of the worst years for the
primary market? By scrapping mandatory IPO (initial public offerings)
grading and making it voluntary! Chairman UK Sinhas public speeches
are about restoring investor confidence but he clearly does not know how
to do it. So, powerful companies and market intermediaries, once again,
used a depressed primary market to successfully lobby for a dilution of
investor protection measures. IPO grading was advocated by investor
activists and associations around 2003 and was reluctantly mandated by
the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in 2007, only to be
dropped six years on.

11/27/15

118

SEBIs excuse for scrapping mandatory grading is the


reported findings of various studies that a large
number of investors are not influenced by grades;
that plenty of low-grade IPOs received a big response
from retail and institutional investors and, thirdly, that
IPOs with high grades yielded more losses. In a clear
contradiction of these claims, media reports also say
that SEBIs action was a move to uplift the dormant
primary market. It is also unclear how SEBI rejected
yet another study which shows that, over time, IPOs
with higher grades yielded better price multiples.
11/27/15

119

Indian institutions have scant regard for history, so SEBI did


not bother to consult investor associations who had fought
long and hard for IPO grading. Nor did it bother to examine
whether the grading process could be made more meaningful
or adequately publicised. Thanks to pressure from powerful
corporate lobbies, the IPO grading process was hobbled at the
very inception. Investor groups wanted IPO grading to be
independent and rating agencies to be paid from the large pool
of badly utilised investor protectionfunds with stock
exchanges and the ministry of corporate affairs. This did not
happen. Companies were paying for their own ratingleading
to charges about shoddy ratingsespecially when Indias top
rating agency, CRISIL gave Reliance Power a 5-star grade at
the peak of the bull run of January 2008.
11/27/15

120

However, the grading did protect genuine investors, who


had no time, or ability, to wade through bulky
offer documents to find out what the companies wanted
to hide. The simple 5-point grade, based on an expert
evaluation of fundamentals by a rating agency, at least,
acted as a fact check, even if it did not cover price risk.
By making it voluntary, SEBI has effectively killed IPO
grading. But, instead of celebrating their victory,
companies and market intermediaries should be really
worried at the complete absence of protest. It shows that
the investor simply doesnt care and that is the real
reason why only three companies made a public
offering in 2013.

HIRE PURCHASE FINANCE


Hire purchase is a system of acquiring
goods on credit whereby the seller of the
goods is regarded as the dealer; the
purchaser is regarded as the hirer and the
financier as the owner.

11/27/15

126

Under this transaction, the hire purchaser acquires


the property (goods) immediately on signing the
hire purchase agreement but the ownership or title
of the same is transferred only when the last
installment is paid.
The hire purchase system is regulated by the Hire
Purchase Act 1972. This Act defines a hire
purchase as an agreement under which goods
are let on hire and under which the hirer has an
option to purchase them in accordance with the
terms of the agreement and includes an
agreement under which:
11/27/15

127

1) The owner delivers possession of goods


thereof to a person on condition that such
person pays the agreed amount in periodic
installments.
2) The property in the goods is to pass to
such person on the payment of the last of
such installments, and
3) Such person has a right to terminate the
agreement at any time before the property
so passes.
11/27/15

128

Hire-purchase is commonly carried out in


the form of a triangular transaction. The
dealer/seller/vendor sells the goods to the
financier (usually finance or credit
company), which becomes the owner, in
return for an immediate payment, which is
the cash price less deposit paid by the
buyer/consumer, known as the hirer. The
owner then hires the goods to the hirer
under a hire-purchase agrement.

Types of Hire-Purchase
There are two types of hire-purchase:
1.Consumer Hire-Purchase
2. Industrial Hire-Purchase

11/27/15

138

Consumer Hire-Purchase
This covers the financing of consumer
goods purchased for personal, family and
household purpose. Therefore, the hirer is
a natural person (not business) and the
goods are obtained for non-business
purposes.

11/27/15

139

Industrial Hire-Purchase
Industrial hire-purchase refers to goods
purchased by companies for use in
business or industry.
Example: The purchase of a machine by a
company to be used in business.

11/27/15

140

Features and benefits


1. The consumer can obtain a maximum of
90% financing.
2. The hirer becomes the owner of the
goods on settlement of the hire-purchase
facility.
3. The hirer can opt for early full settlement

11/27/15

141

4. The hirer can terminate the agreement by


returning the goods but has to indemnify
the owner of any damages or losses
incurred in disposing of the asset.
Arrangements that different finance companies
have with dealers:

11/27/15

142

Hire-purchase direct collection without


option (to the dealer)
This is a facility where the dealer introduces the
buyer of the vehicle to the financier. When the
facility is approved, the hirer pays the monthly
installments to the financier. If the hirer defaults, the
financier will have to repossess the vehicle.
Dealer/seller

Owner/financier

11/27/15

Hirer/ consumer
143

Hire-purchase direct collection with


choice (to the dealer)

This is a facility where the dealer introduces the buyer of the


vehicle to the financier and guarantees repayment of the
facility. When the facility is approved, the hirer pays the
monthly installments to the financier. If the hirer defaults, the
financier will take action against the hirer and the dealer.
Dealer/seller

Owner/financier
11/27/15

Hirer/ consumer
144

Hire-purchase scheduled collection


(by the dealer)
This is a facility where the dealer introduces the buyer
of the vehicle to the financier. When the facility is
approved, the dealer collects the monthly installments
on behalf of the financier. If the hirer defaults, the
dealer has to make the payment for the vehicle.
Dealer/seller

Owner/financier
11/27/15

Hirer/ consumer
145

11/27/15

146

1. Fraud
The dealers may, in collusion with the
supplier, present used or reconditioned
equipment for financing instead of new
equipment. The owner may only come to
know about it after repossession and will
have difficulty in disposing of it.

11/27/15

147

The dealers might introduce fictitious


hirers. This can happen in scheduled
collection arrangements. The dealer can
create a fictitious hirers name and submit
forged documents to financier The
financier will pay the dealer for nonexistent goods. The dealer will use the
funds for his own purposes and dutifully
pay the monthly installments. The problem
will surface when the dealer defaults on
payment.
11/27/15

148

2 .Other problems

Hire-purchase facilities are meant primarily for


movable goods. Goods affixed to the ground
(Land) would pose a problem. The National
Land Code defines land to include all things
attached to the earth or permanently fastened
to anything attached to the earth whether on
or below the surface. Therefore, a claim by
any party on the land will include the fixture
though financed by another party. Therefore, a
disclaimer from the landlord over the fixture
needs to be taken.
11/27/15

149

Stolen goods like machinery are difficult


for the financier to ascertain. The financier
will also lose its right over the machinery.
This may not happen in cases where there
is a registration body, for example, The
hirer may not have insured the goods.

11/27/15

150

Repossession
The financier may only repossess the
goods that is, take possession of goods
mentioned in a hire-purchase agreement
arising out of any breach of the agreement
relating to the payment of instalments,
where,

11/27/15

151

(i) There had been two successive


defaults of payments (in the case of death
of heir, 4 successive defaults) or a default
of the last payment and the financier has
served on hirer a Notice of Intention to
Repossess; and
(ii) The period fixed by the Notice of
Intention to Repossess has expired, which
shall not be less than 21 days after the
service of the notice.
11/27/15

152

Procedures involved during


the repossession
The Hire-Purchase Regulations 1967
provides the procedure for actual
repossession as follows:
(i) When taking the possession of goods to
be repossessed, the financiers officer,
before taking possession has to inform the
hirer the name and address of the financier
to which he or she belongs.
11/27/15

153

(ii) If the financier sends his agent to


repossess the goods, then the agent has
to show the hirer an authority card issued
by the financier and his identity card.
(iii) An authority card must bear the
photograph, name and address of the
agent, the name and address of the
financier, the nature of appointment of
agent and the signature of the authorised
person of the financier.
11/27/15

154

(iv) The financiers officer or agent also


has to show the hirer or the occupant of
the hirers premises, his identity card
before repossessing the goods.

11/27/15

155

Procedures after the goods


has been repossessed
Where the financier takes possession of
the goods that were comprised in a hirepurchase agreement, the financier must
deliver to the hirer personally a document,
which shall set out

11/27/15

156

(i) A short description of the goods and


(ii) The date on which the financier took
possession of the goods
(iii)The time at which the financier took
possession of the goods
(iv)The place where the financier took

11/27/15

157

(vi) Where the hirer is not present at the


time of repossession, the financier must
send such document to the hirer
immediately after taking possession of the
goods.
(vii) Within 21 days after the financier has
taken possession of goods, the financier
must serve on the hirer and every
guarantor of the hirer a Notice to Hirer
under Section 16.
11/27/15

158

(viii) If the notice is not served, the rights of


the financier under the hire-purchase
agreement will thereupon cease.
(ix) However, if the hirer exercises his or her
rights under the hire-purchase agreement
to recover the goods taken possession by
the financier, the notice is deemed to have
been duly served on the hirer.

11/27/15

159

(x) Costs involved in the repossession will be borne


by the hirer:

1)The cost of repossession; and


2)The cost incidental of taking possession

161

In simple words, Lease is a financial


contract between the business customer
(user) and the equipment supplier
(normally owner) for using a particular
asset/equipment over a period of time
against the periodic payments called
Lease rentals.

11/27/15

162

Lease generally involves two parties i.e.


the lessor (owner) and the lessee (user).
Under this arrangement, the lessor
transfers the right to use to the lessee in
return of the lease rentals agreed upon.
Lease agreement can be made flexible
enough to meet the financial requirements
of both the parties.

11/27/15

165

Difference between
Lease and Hire Purchase:
Ownership of the Asset: In lease, ownership
lies with the lessor. The lessee has the right to
use the equipment and does not have an
option to purchase.
Whereas in hire purchase, the hirer has the
option to purchase. The hirer becomes the
owner of the asset/equipment immediately
after the last installment is paid.
11/27/15

166

Depreciation: In lease financing, the


depreciation is claimed as an expense in the
books of lessor.
On the other hand, the depreciation claim is
allowed to the hirer in case of hire purchase
transaction.
Rental Payments: The lease rentals cover the
cost of using an asset. Normally, it is derived
with the cost of an asset over the asset life.
In case of hire purchase, installment is inclusive
of the principal amount and the interest for the
time period the asset is utilized.
11/27/15

167

Duration: Generally lease agreements are


done for longer duration and for bigger
assets like land, property etc.
Hire Purchase agreements are done mostly
for shorter duration and cheaper assets like
hiring a car, machinery etc.
Tax Impact: In lease agreement, the total
lease rentals are shown as expenditure by
the lessee.
