Turn bills into profits with Invoice Discounting

What is Bill Discounting?

Bill discounting is a trade-related activity in which a company sells its outstanding invoices to a financier (a bank or another financial institution) that agrees to pay the company for them at a future date.

In bill discounting, the business discount the outstanding invoices to gain access to short-term financial assistance and maintain the working capital. This process is also called “Invoice Discounting”. This process is governed by the negotiable instrument act, 2010. Factoring & Reverse Factoring are two methods a bill is discounted on TReDS platorm. Both the methods are designed to speed up and increase cash flow without disturbing the balance sheet.

Factoring involves a financial transaction where a business sells its accounts receivable (invoices) to a Financier at a discount. The benefits of factoring include working capital optimization, credit protection against bad debts, no collateral required, and prompt payments for your invoices.

On the other hand, reverse factoring (also known as supply chain financing) is a process where a buyer company collaborates with a financial institution (such as a bank or NBFC) to provide early payment to its suppliers. This approach leads to improved cash flow for suppliers, minimizes the need for costly payment requests, secures financing at competitive interest rates, and fosters stronger, long-term relationships between buyers and suppliers.
