# Invoice Factoring

**Status: 🔨 In Development (Q2 2026)**

The core trade finance product enabling invoice tokenization.

***

## What It Does

Businesses sell their unpaid invoices at a discount for immediate cash. Investors purchase these invoices and collect the full amount when the debtor pays.

## Example Transaction

| Item               | Value                  |
| ------------------ | ---------------------- |
| Invoice Face Value | $100,000               |
| Payment Terms      | Net 60                 |
| Discount Rate      | 5%                     |
| Seller Receives    | $95,000 (immediate)    |
| Investor Pays      | $95,000                |
| Investor Receives  | $100,000 (at maturity) |
| Investor Profit    | $5,000                 |
| Annualized Yield   | \~31% APY              |

***

## Yield Derivation

Expected yields of 5-10% APY derive from:

| Factor              | Description                                  |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Discount Rate**   | Typically 1-3% per 30 days                   |
| **Annualization**   | 30-day invoice at 2% discount ≈ 24% APY      |
| **Risk Adjustment** | Higher-risk debtors command higher discounts |
| **Market Dynamics** | Supply/demand affects pricing                |

***

## Risk Parameters

Each invoice listing includes:

| Parameter          | Description                        |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
| **Debtor Rating**  | Creditworthiness score (A/B/C/D)   |
| **Invoice Age**    | Days since issuance                |
| **Payment Terms**  | Original net terms (30/60/90)      |
| **Seller History** | Default rate, volume, tenure       |
| **Concentration**  | % of debtor's payables on platform |

***
