?Quick answer
Non-recourse factoring from RCR International Finance LLC is a factoring structure in which the funder assumes the credit risk on approved invoices, so that if a covered customer cannot pay because of insolvency, the business is generally not required to buy the invoice back. Coverage is defined by the agreement and applies to approved customer credit events, subject to underwriting and approval.
Non-recourse factoring is a variant of factoring where the funder takes on the risk of a covered customer's failure to pay due to defined credit events such as insolvency. Unlike recourse factoring, the business is generally not obligated to repurchase an unpaid invoice when the covered event occurs. The trade-off is tighter customer credit approval and contract terms that define exactly what is and is not covered.
