Launch of Confirming in Spain CONTEXT: 90’s crisis – Spain – long payment terms. Traditional Factoring quite extensive in Spain NEED: Control as many receivables from strong and reliable debtors. Turn high-risk factoring transactions into higher quality assignments. SOLUTION: Due diligence over the receivable. Confirmation of validity and enforceability. Confirmation of payment.
The Mechanism was based on Factoring The SUPPLIER invoiced the buyer as usual. The BUYER confirmed the BANK that goods were received and invoice was good to pay. BANK offered the SUPPLIER a simple factoring transaction due to: Particular receivables vs whole turnover officially recorded and confirmed for payment by the buyer undisputable receivables 100% value /advance payment – less purchase price off-balance sheet for supplier transfer of ownership of the receivable to the BANK Covering insolvency risk of the Buyer Money collection made on a direct debit to the buyer’s bank account.
