[edit] Should this article be moved?
Should this be moved to Factor (trade), and this page be made a disambiguation page that either goes to "Factor (trade)" and "Factorization"?
- I agree that "factoring" should be a disambiguation page, and that this page should be moved. Paul August ☎ July 4, 2005 16:20 (UTC)
- OK I've moved this article to "Factoring (trade)" (although "Factoring (finance) or Factoring (business) might be better). Also since the vast majority who enter or link to "factoring" will expect the mathematical term, I've also decided to use primary topic disambiguation instead. Consequently I've made "factoring" a redirect to "Factorization". I've also gone through and fixed all the links. Paul August ☎ July 4, 2005 17:21 (UTC)

[edit] problems
Use of the term Lion's Share is quite unusual in an encyclopedia article.

[edit] Factoring and similar financing
The disambiguation helps a lot.
Good links would be "Payday Loans", "Usuary" and similar since in a sense Factoring is a corporate form of payday loan.

I disagree that factoring has anything to do with usury, and while "payday loans" might seem analagous on the surface, there's alot more to factoring than payday loans.
Larry Wimble
Factoring has nothing to do with Usury, (although there is a commission so hence a form of fee for the service). And there is certainly more to factoring than to payday loans. For one thing factoring can be hidden from the creditors or not. But the request was for suitable links to avoid it being a "stub". I think they are good links. The reason I first thought of them is the similar short-term, advance payment of receipts due nature of both forms of finance.
