the supplier perspectiveSamenvatting
In this paper we discuss what suppliers can do to get insight into the effects
of Reverse Factoring (RF), currently the most used form of Supply Chain
Finance (SCF). Even though the usage of RF is increasing, empirical evidence
is scarce, especially from the point of view of suppliers. Among suppliers
there is a lack of knowledge of RF. We provide in-depth insights from six
case studies based on interviews and secondary data. Employees from
multiple departments were interviewed. Also buyers and banks were
interviewed. The supplier cases included in our research are mainly SMEs.
Our results show that increased knowledge of the supplier of RF can help to
create a better negotiation position for discussing terms in the RF contract.
When getting an offer to join an RF programme a supplier should start with
analysing the consequences for cash flow, financing costs, current forms of
financing and (long-term) collaboration with the buyer.
