1M/1M: Receivables Financing

My Forbes column today is Financial Instruments To End The Recession. It addresses two key issues that we have been discussing recently: working capital financing and receivables financing.

In this discussion, I invite comments from the receivables financing world on how you see the risks and returns of receivables financing. What checks and balances do/should you put in to prevent fraud, and an implosion like the mortgage industry.

I am also interested in hearing from entrepreneurs who have been successfully using receivables financing to bootstrap their companies.

As always, I will synthesize, and do a follow-up piece for Forbes once we’ve collected our thoughts and debated and discussed them here.
