Factoring is a financial transaction whereby a business sells its accounts receivable (i.e., invoices) to a third party (called a factor) at a discount.
In "advance" factoring, the factor provides financing to the seller of the accounts in the form of a cash "advance," often 70-85% of the purchase price of the accounts, with the balance of the purchase price being paid, net of the factor's discount fee (commission) and other charges, upon collection from the account client. In "maturity" factoring, the factor makes no advance on the purchased accounts; rather, the purchase price is paid on or about the average maturity date of the accounts being purchased in the batch.

Outsourcing sometimes involves transferring employees and assets from one firm to another, but not always.[1]
The definition of outsourcing includes both foreign and domestic contracting,[2] and sometimes includes offshoring, which means relocating a business function to another country.[3] Financial savings from lower international labor rates is a big motivation for outsourcing/offshoring.
