How does non-recourse factoring work alongside senior lenders?

Non-recourse factoring can be structured to work in harmony with existing treasury and banking relationships. Porter Capital uses intercreditor agreements and deposit account control agreements (DACAs) to provide liquidity without disrupting your bank’s priorities or systems, maintaining a seamless funding structure.

Is non-recourse factoring suitable for private equity firms and portfolio managers?

Yes. Non-recourse factoring aligns well with capital stack strategies used by private equity firms and portfolio managers. It delivers off-balance sheet financing that supports portfolio company growth without jeopardizing debt covenants or triggering audits.

Does non-recourse factoring affect a company’s balance sheet?

No. Since non-recourse factoring is not considered debt, it does not add liabilities to your balance sheet. This makes it an attractive option for companies looking to improve cash flow while maintaining debt capacity, especially when preparing for equity raises or refinancing.

What Is Non-Recourse Factoring?

Understanding the Basics

Non-recourse factoring is a financial transaction where you sell your accounts receivable to Porter Capital—and we assume the credit risk. If your customer becomes insolvent and can’t pay, you’re not responsible for the unpaid invoice. This is a key difference from recourse factoring, where you remain liable if the customer defaults.

How It Differs from Recourse Factoring

With recourse factoring, you’re on the hook if a customer doesn’t pay—regardless of the reason. Non-recourse factoring removes that burden, but it requires deeper credit evaluations and slightly higher pricing due to the risk we assume. The trade-off? Peace of mind and protection from credit-related losses.

Risk Transfer and Peace of Mind

Non-recourse factoring shifts the risk of customer insolvency from your balance sheet to ours. That can be a game-changer—especially in uncertain markets or with customers whose creditworthiness may be declining. You’re freed from the threat of bad debt and can focus on running your business.

Empowering Confident Growth

This added security empowers you to take on new clients, larger contracts, or seasonal spikes in business without fearing the financial fallout of a client’s failure. It’s about turning receivables into strategic assets—not liabilities.

Common Misconceptions Debunked

“It’s too expensive”: While slightly higher in cost, non-recourse pricing is often marginal when compared to the protection it provides—especially in high-risk environments.
“It covers all invoice problems”: Non-recourse only protects against credit-related issues like insolvency—not disputes over goods, services, or returns

Key Questions to Ask When Considering This Option

Do you want to shift credit risk off your books?
Are your customers financially sound with predictable payment behavior?
Are you trying to preserve debt capacity or work within tight lending covenants?

If you answered yes to any of these, non-recourse factoring might be the strategic tool you’ve been looking for.
