It serves as a form of security for the project owner (the procuring entity) to ensure that the bidder (the applicant/client) will enter into the contract and adhere to the terms of their bids. Should the bidder fail to adhere to the terms of the bid or withdraws from the tender process, the procuring entity at their own discretion may claim the bid bond amount from the issuing financial institution. We at Kixen, facilitate the issuance of these bid bonds or tender securities from approved financial institutions.

Invoice Factoring

In invoice factoring, a business sells its accounts receivable (unpaid invoices) to a third-party financial institution, known as a factor, at a discount. The factor then advances a percentage of the invoice value (usually around 70% to 90%) to the business upfront. Once the borrower’s customer pays the invoice, the factor remits the remaining balance to the business, minus a fee.
