This arrangement is an example of  "factoring".
A factoring arrangement is an agreement between the organization and a factoring firm. The organization will factor, or move, their records receivable to the firm at a markdown for a quick loan. The level of loan depends not on your company's credit record, but rather on the financial record of your clients. Â
Factoring agreements enable your organization to get required financing without taking out a bank credit. It is something that you may not need or have the capacity to do.
