Factores determinantes del uso del confirming como alternativa de financiación de empresas del sector real en Colombia

Abstract

In recent years, financing through reverse factoring has become more important in the financial performance of companies in Colombia. Especially the companies that have a high number of suppliers can make use of this alternative to improve their liquidity levels and that of their suppliers who do not have easy access to financing. In this research, different hypotheses will be tested to identify the determining factors for a company to choose to use reverse factoring as a financing alternative. For this, the financial information of 21.893 Colombian companies in the real sector will be taken as a database, of which 768 have used reverse factoring through an electronic platform that provides this service in the country. The relationship between data such as sales levels, debt and liquidity indicators will be tested to determine the use of reverse factoring.
