USAID’s Factoring Project is a $700,000, three-year activity to accelerate the growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) by increasing their use of factoring, a financial transaction in which a business sells a credit-worthy accounts receivable (usually an invoice) at a discount to a financial services firm. Factoring can increase MSMEs’ effective working capital and improve their cash-flow, thus enabling them to engage new contracts and clients, expand their markets, increase their competitive edge, and enhance their overall competitiveness.
