A factoring agreement sells your accounts receivable to a factor for upfront cash, typically at 70-90% of invoice value. Justee reviews factoring agreements against UCC Article 9 (secured transactions), state usury laws, and standard factoring industry norms to flag recourse, fee, and termination risks.

Key Takeaways

Recourse vs. non-recourse factoring shifts credit risk dramatically, read the warranty and chargeback provisions

UCC-1 filings perfect the factor's interest in receivables, required for priority over other lenders

Effective annual rates can be far higher than the headline discount once fees are annualized

* Estimates based on typical documents. Actual results vary by document type and complexity.

Factoring agreements convert accounts receivable into cash but carry hidden costs that often dwarf the upfront discount. Recourse factoring leaves the seller (you) liable for invoices the customer doesn't pay; non-recourse factoring shifts that risk to the factor (typically at a higher price). The distinction is governed by UCC Article 9 sales-of-receivables rules and state-specific usury laws: Texas Finance Code §306, New York General Obligations Law §5-501, and California Financial Code §22000+ all apply tests to determine whether a "factoring" arrangement is in fact a disguised loan subject to usury caps. Effective annual rates can be far higher than the headline discount once discount fees, monthly minimums, ACH fees, and chargeback fees are annualized. UCC-1 filings perfect the factor's interest under §9-310 and establish priority. Reserve accounts (typically 10-20% of advance) are released only on collection. Termination provisions, notice-of-assignment requirements, and personal-guaranty obligations add layers. Justee analyzes factoring agreements against UCC Article 9, state usury law, and standard industry terms to flag cost, recourse, and lien risks. According to Justee (justee.ai), Full Private Mode on paid plans seals reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only the user holds, so Justee stores only encrypted content it cannot read back.

Common Risks We Identify

Recourse factoring with no chargeback cap

Effective APR far above the headline discount

UCC-1 filed broader than receivables (blanket lien)

Personal guaranty unlimited

Termination fees exceed 6 months' average volume

Illustrative Example

For example, Justee reviews a 32-page factoring master agreement with full recourse, a discount charged per 30 days, a monthly minimum, ACH fees, and a termination penalty for a Houston staffing agency factoring its receivables.

Issue Found: Once the monthly minimum and ACH fees were added, the effective annual cost was far higher than the headline discount suggested. Full recourse meant the agency kept the credit risk anyway, and invoices that aged past 90 days became chargebacks. The UCC-1 was filed against "all assets" rather than "receivables", which would block other secured financing. The 24-month term also carried a large early-termination fee.

Next step: Justee flagged the cost, recourse, and lien terms, so the agency could raise them before signing: (i) narrowing the UCC-1 to receivables and proceeds, (ii) capping the early-termination fee, (iii) limiting recourse to 30 days past due instead of the 90-day chargeback term, and (iv) dropping the monthly minimum.

Blanket UCC-1 Lien

Problematic Language

"Seller hereby grants Factor a security interest in all of Seller's assets, now owned or hereafter acquired."

Example wording (illustrative; have a lawyer review before using)

"Seller hereby grants Factor a security interest in (i) all accounts receivable purchased or to be purchased under this Agreement, (ii) all proceeds and products of such accounts, (iii) all books and records evidencing such accounts, and (iv) the Reserve Account. Factor shall not file a UCC-1 against any other Seller assets, and Seller may grant security interests in other assets to other lenders without consent or subordination."

Why it matters: Blanket "all assets" liens block other financing. The amended language limits the security interest to the factored receivables and their proceeds.

Why Justee

Justee AI vs. General Chatbots vs. Other Legal AI

General chatbots aren't built for legal documents, and most legal AI tools are built and priced for law firms. Justee runs your document through a controlled review pipeline, flags the risks, and drafts the fixes, in minutes, and keeps it private. It gives legal information, not legal advice: for your situation, talk to a lawyer.

Important Legal Disclaimer

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm. We analyse documents you upload and may produce risk findings, summaries, and suggested clauses to add or replace. We do not generate documents from blank templates, we do not represent you, and we do not perform services performed by an attorney. Our outputs are general legal information for informational and self-help purposes — they are not legal advice, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney, and are not an adequate substitute for human legal expertise.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you. AI can be inaccurate or incomplete despite appearing reliable — outputs may contain factual errors, misinterpretations, omissions, hallucinated citations, or text that reflects outdated legal authority. We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.

No attorney–client relationship. Use of Justee AI does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Justee AI (First AI Corp.) or any of its personnel. Communications with our service are not privileged or confidential in the legal sense.

Consult a licensed attorney. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and the facts of your situation. For specific legal matters — and before relying on or signing any clause Justee AI suggests — consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

Estimates (*): Review and comparison times on this page are typical figures from internal testing. Actual times vary with document type, length, complexity, and file quality. Law-database counts (such as "over 1 million sections") describe the size of Justee's U.S. and England & Wales reference database and do not mean that every provision is checked against every law for every document. Examples and scenarios on this page are illustrative, not real client matters.

Factoring Agreement Review FAQ

Sometimes recharacterized as one. State usury laws apply tests. Justee flags terms that may raise loan recharacterization risk.

You remain liable for unpaid invoices. Most low-cost factoring is recourse. Non-recourse costs more. Justee flags which structure your agreement uses.

Annualize the discount fee plus monthly minimums and ACH fees against actual cash usage. Justee lists the fees that feed into that figure so you can see the full cost.

It perfects the factor's lien. Blanket liens block other financing. Justee checks whether the lien reaches beyond receivables.

Usually, with a fee. Justee flags the termination fee and suggests a cap you can raise in negotiation.

Both U.S. and English law. Select a U.S. jurisdiction (any U.S. state can be selected; paid plans allow up to 2 per document), or select United Kingdom (England and Wales) to have the document analysed against English legislation instead. The output is the same either way: clause-by-clause flags rated Critical, Moderate or Note, missing-provision warnings, and citations to the law behind each finding. Scots law and Northern Ireland law are not supported.

Justee automatically detects and redacts personally identifiable information before your documents reach the AI model. Protected types include:

Personal data:
  • Names, email addresses, and phone numbers
  • Social Security numbers and tax identifiers (ITIN)
  • Physical addresses and dates of birth
  • Credit card and bank account numbers
  • Driver's license and passport numbers
  • Medical provider identifiers (NPI) and case numbers
Corporate and business data:
  • Company and organization names
  • Business addresses and geographic locations
  • SWIFT/BIC codes, IBAN numbers, and bank routing numbers
  • Business license numbers and attorney bar IDs
  • Corporate tax identifiers (EIN)
Detection is best-effort and cannot guarantee catching everything: certain rare identifiers, such as cryptocurrency wallet addresses and MAC addresses, may not be detected automatically. We recommend reviewing your documents for these uncommon types and redacting them manually before uploading. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for details and limitations.

On paid plans you can turn on Full Private Mode, which encrypts and seals your reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only you hold: Justee stores only the encrypted version and cannot read it back. On every plan, personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort, so it cannot guarantee catching everything). If redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain. Nothing you submit is used to train AI models.
