Case study
The transport company has carried out the services for which it had issued an invoice amounting PLN 70k. plus VAT. The company has benefited from the financing of day-to-day operations in the form of factoring for many years. That is why the invoices were delivered to a specialized provider of financial services. Accordingly the contractor was informed about it. Factoring company had transferred to the account of transport company 80 percent of the value of the said invoice. Then the contractor settled the payment. Being paid in full, factoring company had transferred to the transport company the balance of the funds.
