Factoring is a financial service covering the financing and collection of accounts receivables in domestic as well as in international trade. Basically, factoring is an arrangement in which receivables on account of sale of goods or services are sold to the factor at a certain discount.
As the factor gets the title to the receivables on account of the factoring contract, factor becomes responsible for all credit control, sales ledger administration and debt collection from the customers.
Any of the two services to be provided
The following services to be provided by the factor; I) finance, (ii) maintenance of accounts, (iii) collection of debts and (iv) protection against credit risk.

In bill discounting drawer undertakes the responsibility of collecting the bills and remitting the proceeds to financing agency, whereas a factor usually undertakes to collect the bills of the client
Bill discounting facility implies only provision of finance but a factor also provides other services like sales ledger maintenance and advisory services
Discounted bills may be rediscounted several times before they mature for payment. Debts purchased for factoring cannot be rediscounted, they can be refinanced .
Factoring implies the provision of bulk finance against several unpaid trade generated invoices in batches, bill financing is individual transaction-oriented – each bill is separately assessed and discounted
Factoring is an off-balance mode of financing. Bill discounting does not involve assignment of debts as is the case with factoring.
