Accounts Receivable, All Accounts

This Accounts Receivable Agreement review list is given to assist you in the preparation of this document. Given the nature of financial transactions, this document will most likely only be used in private transactions, since most financial institutions depend on the use of their own documents. Mainly, this is done to ensure that all agreements for similar financial instruments are the same, so that bankers, collectors, and lawyers know exactly what their rights and obligations are, down to the comma and beyond. To be sure, this instrument may be utilized to obtain private funding in a more secure way than a pure equity transaction, if done correctly. This is particularly true given the fact that the stock market seems to be in a sideways trend for the time being.

1. Make sure that at all parties sign the agreement in at least two copies, and that you maintain an additional copy in both your corporate minute book (since this kind of transaction needs Board permission) and your banking/lending file. 2. You might consider keeping a third copy of this document in your business records, either at home or at the office, just as you would with other important corporate papers.

2. Because of the severity of this Agreement, as well as the associated expense, you should consider carefully before taking this kind of financing in lieu of alternative types of loan and equity. If your accounts are in good standing and your payments are within defined limitations, this kind of arrangement may be beneficial (it has for me in the past). However, if chargebacks and disputes play a major part in your accounts receivable, as they often do in the high-tech world, you should be aware of the implications for conventional accounts receivable financing, which is what this is. The paperwork involved in backing out and accounting for each one of these transactions tends to undermine the lender’s trust in the borrower’s ability to pay. For them, chargebacks are poison, but discounts that have been discussed and agreed upon are another thing. A clean A/R ledger that they can depend on is very important to a lender since this is the collateral they are lending against. Trying to do anything else is usually problematic—not to forget time demanding for all parties involved.

3. Finally, regardless of the exact terms of the agreement, this kind of loan is time-consuming and costly to administer, regardless of the circumstances. Most of the time, it requires considerable managerial supervision. Simply Media is delighted to be able to operate without the need for external funding. To summarize, this kind of financing may provide you with much-needed operating cash if you are in desperate need of it. Nevertheless, it comes with a hefty cost, in addition to the real expenses of borrowing the money. Because most agreements are more readily entered into than departed, and this one is no different, it is important to thoroughly and realistically consider the implications of depending on this kind of funding before entering one.
