Make faster vendor payments without disrupting your cash flow. With Dhanvraksh's reverse factoring services, retain control over your payment cycle and offer early payment to suppliers — improving relationships while keeping treasury planning steady.
Reverse factoring lets a buyer arrange early payment for its suppliers through a bank or financier. The supplier gets paid before the invoice falls due — though at a slight discount on the full amount. The buyer then pays the financier on the original due date, keeping the payment timeline intact.
Since the buyer drives the whole process, the financing rate reflects the buyer's credit profile, not the supplier's — which usually means cheaper access to cash for suppliers.
Get StartedThe simple workflow of supply chain financing.
The buyer joins the programme. Supply chain financing works best when the buyer has regular invoice flow and a clear approval process.
The buyer's vendors are linked to the programme — these are the suppliers who can use financing against approved invoices.
Once goods or services are delivered, the supplier raises an invoice through the platform.
The buyer confirms the invoice amount and due date. That approval is the anchor of the transaction.
After approval, the financier offers early payment to the supplier — well before the original due date.
If accepted, funds are released against the approved invoice, giving the vendor quicker access to cash.
On the original due date, the buyer pays the financier directly — keeping their payment cycle intact.
Over time, reverse factoring becomes part of the regular trade cycle across continuing buyer-supplier relationships.
Reverse factoring works best when the buyer gets structured payment control, and the supplier gets faster access to cash.

Reverse factoring is a buyer-led model where the buyer approves the invoice, and the financier pays the supplier early. It is a form of anchor-based financing because the buyer's confirmation anchors the transaction.
The buyer approves the invoice, the supplier requests early payment, and the financier releases funds before the due date. Cash moves early, and the buyer settles the full amount on the original due date.
Both buyers and suppliers benefit when the programme is set up well. Buyers keep payment discipline; suppliers get faster cash and better supply chain credit support.
Factoring starts with the seller's receivable; reverse factoring starts with the buyer's approved invoice. Both can be handled through TReDS — the initiator differs in each case.
It is generally safer when it runs through an authorised platform with verified buyer and supplier records, clear invoice approval, and defined settlement rules.
