1. Do we have an opportunity to grow in the Americas?
2. Why there is such a big gap in comparison to Europe
Americas USA Europe
Different currenciesFX controls (Vzla, Col, Bra)
Same currencyNo FX Controls
Same currency
No standard factoring law(import vs. export factoring)
Simple law for domestic factoring
Standard set of regulations
Low useLack of knowledge
Some use. Not so good image
High use of factoring. Well known & seen.
Increasing banking presence (Cadenas Productivas Mexico, Chile, Law 1231 in Colombia)
Low bank presenceBank Factors vs. Private Factors
Higher banking presence (lower price)
DOCUMENTATION
USA:- Perpetual notification letter to debtors- Lien (UCC1) on Sellers receivables. Clients can only deal with one factor.- Private factors vs. bank factors- Cooperation from big retailers
Latin America:- No standard documents and procedures - Domestic, Import and Export factoring can have different procedures.- No perpetual notification. Clients can do spot factoring with different factors- No UCC1 on Seller-Requirement to use local language in contracts (Brazil, Province of Quebec) - Some countries limit the ability to pay to a 3rd party such Factors (Brazil, Venezuela)- In some countries, banks have an strong presence in Factoring (Chile)
CONCLUSIONS:
• Factoring has a big potential to grow in the Americas, either domestic and international.
• As Factoring is a substitute for banking , weak (non-bankable) companies can have a tremendous benefit with a more sophisticated factoring service (example: Cadenas productivas).
•The prices of factoring is determined by the penetration of the banks in the industry (directly or indirectly).
•It would be ideal to have an standard set of rules and regulation for international factoring in the Americas
