What is reverse factoring (supply chain finance)?
Reverse Factoring (Supply Chain Finance): A program the buyer sets up so their suppliers can get paid early at the buyer's credit rate.
How it works
Large OEMs and retailers sponsor supply-chain finance platforms (Taulia, PrimeRevenue, C2FO) that let you take early payment on invoices at a discount tied to the buyer's rate—often cheaper than traditional factoring for that customer's invoices.
