A factoring agreement sells your accounts receivable to a factor for upfront cash, typically at 70-90% of invoice value. Justee reviews factoring agreements against UCC Article 9 (secured transactions), state usury laws, and standard factoring industry norms to flag recourse, fee, and termination risks.

* Estimates based on typical documents. Actual results vary by document type and complexity.

Factoring agreements convert accounts receivable into cash but carry hidden costs that often dwarf the upfront discount. Recourse factoring leaves the seller (you) liable for invoices the customer doesn't pay; non-recourse factoring shifts that risk to the factor (typically priced 1-2% higher). The distinction is governed by UCC Article 9 sales-of-receivables rules and state-specific usury laws — Texas Finance Code §306, New York General Obligations Law §5-501, and California Financial Code §22000+ all apply tests to determine whether a "factoring" arrangement is in fact a disguised loan subject to usury caps. Effective annual rates can exceed 30-60% APR when discount fees, monthly minimums, ACH fees, and chargeback fees are annualized. UCC-1 filings perfect the factor's interest under §9-310 and establish priority. Reserve accounts (typically 10-20% of advance) are released only on collection. Termination provisions, notice-of-assignment requirements, and personal-guaranty obligations add layers. Justee analyzes factoring agreements against UCC Article 9, state usury law, and standard industry precedents.

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

Justee recently analyzed a 32-page factoring master agreement with full recourse, monthly $5K minimum, ACH fees, and termination penalty for a Houston staffing agency factoring $2M/month at 92% advance and 1.8% discount per 30 days.

Issue Found: The 1.8% per 30 days plus minimums and ACH fees produced an effective APR of 28% on actual usage. Full recourse meant the agency carried 100% credit risk while paying 28% — equivalent to an unsecured loan at 28%, but worse because invoices that aged past 90 days became chargebacks. The UCC-1 was filed against "all assets" rather than "receivables" — blocking the agency from any other secured financing. The 24-month term had a $180K early-termination fee.

Justee Recommendation: We negotiated: (i) UCC-1 narrowed to receivables and proceeds, (ii) early-termination fee capped at 2 months' average discount, (iii) recourse limited to 30 days post-due (not the 90-day chargeback term), and (iv) elimination of the monthly minimum.

Blanket UCC-1 Lien

Problematic Language

"Seller hereby grants Factor a security interest in all of Seller's assets, now owned or hereafter acquired."

Recommended Language

"Seller hereby grants Factor a security interest in (i) all accounts receivable purchased or to be purchased under this Agreement, (ii) all proceeds and products of such accounts, (iii) all books and records evidencing such accounts, and (iv) the Reserve Account. Factor shall not file a UCC-1 against any other Seller assets, and Seller may grant security interests in other assets to other lenders without consent or subordination."

Why it matters: Blanket "all assets" liens block other financing. Narrow the security interest to the actual factored receivables and proceeds.

No credit card required
