Recourse and non-recourse factoring refer to who is liable if the factoring company cannot collect payment on the factored invoice after a certain period of time. Under a recourse program, the carrier is ultimately liable to repurchase the invoice if the factor cannot collect payment after a certain period of time. Under a non-recourse program, the factoring company is responsible and is liable for any defaults of payment from the broker, assuming the carrier met all of the obligations of their contract.

Depending on the factor and program type, funding rates can be anywhere between 90% and 99% of the invoice amount. This is determined by your individual contract terms. Be sure to know exactly what your factoring rate is, any additional fees, or extra stipulations that may incur additional charges. The lowest rate is not usually the best, especially when you take into account hidden fees, terms affecting non-payment liability, and ability to receive customer support as you run your business.

Factoring companies generally offer either a flat factoring rate or a tiered rate. Flat factoring rates charge the same percentage on each invoice factored, regardless of how long it takes the broker to pay. Tiered rate programs increase the fee depending on the time it takes for a broker to pay, usually in 15-day increments.
