How does factoring and its calculations work?
One customer has an invoice of 100,000 ALL to be financed. The invoice has a maturity of 30 days. The client of the factoring company after applying receives the following financing conditions: 1.5% interest rate, 1% administration commission and 90% invoice prepayment rate.
1. The Factoring Company (Factor) instantly deposits 90,000 ALL (100,000 * 90) into the client's account
2. After 30 days the invoice is paid by the debtor in the full value of 100,000 ALL in the Factor account.
The factor proceeds with the calculation of commissions of interest that are 2,500 ALL (100,000 * 2.5%)
3. The factor reimburses to the customer account the rest of the invoice value of 7,500 lek (the remainder is 10,000 lek minus 2,500 lek commissions)
