Reverse factoring—also known as supply chain finance—is a buyer-initiated financing solution that allows suppliers to get paid early by a third-party funder, while the buyer maintains extended payment terms. It improves cash flow for both parties without adding debt to the supplier’s balance sheet.
The buyer approves supplier invoices and a third-party lender (like eCapital) pays the supplier early—usually at a small discount. The buyer then repays the lender on the extended due date. This creates a win-win: the supplier gets paid faster, and the buyer gains more time to manage cash flow.
Buyers looking to extend payment terms without harming supplier relationships
Suppliers needing faster access to working capital
Companies managing large or global supply chains with tight payment timelines
Industries like manufacturing, automotive, retail, and healthcare with high-volume procurement needs
In traditional factoring, the supplier initiates the financing and assumes responsibility. In reverse factoring, the buyer initiates the process and takes the credit risk, making it lower-risk and lower-cost for suppliers.
Generally, reverse factoring doesn’t create additional debt for the buyer. It’s often treated as a trade payable (not financial debt), depending on how it’s structured and reported.
No—reverse factoring involves coordination between the buyer, supplier, and funder. However, it’s a highly collaborative process and typically strengthens supplier relationships.
Once invoices are approved by the buyer, suppliers can often receive payment in as little as 1–3 days—sometimes even the same day.
