Forfaiting
(redirected from Forfait)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Forfaiting
A form of factoring that involves selling large, medium to long-term receivables to buyers (forfaiters) who are willing and able to bear the costs and risks of credit and collections.

Forfaiting
In international trade, the selling of an exporter's receivables for a particular transaction. It is similar to factoring except in scope. While a company sells all of its accounts receivable in factoring, an exporter only sells one receivable for one, perhaps high risk, transaction. In forfaiting, the buyer is known as a forfaiter, and assumes all the risks associated with collecting the receivables. Generally, the exporter forfaits the receivable at a discount. This improves cash flow but reduces income.

Je suis maintenant condamnee retracer d'abord vos fautes, puis vos forfaits, puis vos malheurs: des lueurs de vos vertus apparoitront encore; mais l'eclat meme qu'elles jetteront ne servira qu' mieux faire voir la profondeur de vos miseres.
Ces donnees nous aideront a comprendre les besoins de nos membres et nous permettront de developper un forfait d'avantages plus profitable.
