Yes, a properly executed Master Factoring Agreement is legally binding in Canada under federal and provincial law. The agreement must comply with the Personal Property Security Act (PPSA) in your province and federal banking regulations under the Bank Act if involving financial institutions. All parties must have legal capacity and the contract must include essential terms like factoring rates, recourse provisions, and security interests.

No, operating factoring services without a comprehensive Master Factoring Agreement exposes both parties to significant legal and financial risks. Without this foundational contract, you lack essential protections like security interests in receivables, clear recourse terms, and compliance with PPSA registration requirements. Each factoring transaction would require separate documentation, creating inefficiency and potential disputes.

The Master Factoring Agreement itself doesn't require PPSA registration, but the security interests it creates in accounts receivable must be registered under your provincial PPSA. The factor must file financing statements to perfect their security interest in the receivables being purchased. This registration protects the factor's priority rights against other creditors and ensures enforceability of the security interest.

A Master Factoring Agreement involves the actual sale and transfer of accounts receivable to the factor, while invoice financing is typically a loan secured by receivables. Under factoring, the factor owns the receivables and often handles collections, whereas invoice financing keeps ownership with the borrower. The PPSA treatment and Bank Act compliance requirements also differ between these two financing structures.

Negotiating and finalizing a Master Factoring Agreement typically takes 2-6 weeks depending on the complexity and parties involved. This includes due diligence on the business, negotiating terms like advance rates and recourse provisions, legal review, and completing PPSA registration requirements. Larger transactions or those involving banks may require additional regulatory compliance time.

Many businesses fail to register PPSA financing statements because they don't understand that factoring creates security interests requiring registration, even when structured as outright sales. Common mistakes include incorrect debtor names, inadequate collateral descriptions, and missing renewal registrations. Without proper PPSA registration, factors lose priority to other secured creditors and may be unable to recover receivables in insolvency situations.

Yes, Master Factoring Agreements remain enforceable even when the factor isn't a federally regulated financial institution. However, non-bank factors must still comply with provincial PPSA requirements for security interests and may be subject to provincial lending or consumer protection laws. The agreement's enforceability depends on proper drafting, execution, and compliance with applicable provincial regulations rather than federal banking oversight.
