Selling invoices has become one of the most effective methods for companies that want to strengthen their liquidity quickly without taking out loans. Regardless of whether you use invoice purchasing, factoring or invoice financing, the same question arises: how do you book invoice purchasing correctly? Here we go through everything step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does invoice purchase mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When a company chooses to sell an invoice to a factoring company, it means that the company gets paid directly, while the factoring company takes over the risk and administration. It is common for companies that want to improve cash flow, avoid waiting 30\u201390 days for payment, reduce credit risk or outsource claims and reminder management. Therefore, invoice purchasing is a central part of modern factoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you post invoice purchases?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The accounting depends on whether you use invoice purchasing without recourse or invoice purchasing with recourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Invoice purchase without recourse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Invoice 100,000 SEK Accounting: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1510 Accounts receivable debit 100,000 Here the account receivable is zeroed because you no longer own it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Invoice purchase with recourse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Accounting: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1510 Accounts receivable debit 100,000 When the customer pays, you settle the debt with the factoring company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Frequently asked questions about accounting for invoice purchases<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you need to book accounts receivable? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, the account receivable is booked as usual but is immediately zeroed when the invoice is sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Advantages of selling invoices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Selling invoices is an effective way to get quick liquidity, reduce credit risk, avoid reminders and debt collection, and focus on core business. That's why factoring is one of the most used financing solutions among Swedish companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Accounting for invoice purchases is easy when you know how it works. Regardless of whether you use factoring, invoice financing or sell invoices directly, the principles are the same: the receivable is booked, the factoring fee is expensed and the payment is booked to the bank.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Att s\u00e4lja fakturor har blivit en av de mest effektiva metoderna f\u00f6r f\u00f6retag som vill st\u00e4rka sin likviditet snabbt utan att ta l\u00e5n.
