Xiaofu learned that at present, many places across the country have suspended the approval of new commercial factoring companies. A number of commercial factoring companies in the approval process have also been suspended.
At the same time, it was found through enterprise investigation and inquiry that the number of newly established commercial factoring companies in the country since December was only 3, and the approval for the establishment of relevant factoring companies was also before that.
According to the previous legislative plan, the "Local Financial Supervision and Administration Regulations" may be formally promulgated within the year, and the regulatory rules for local financial organizations such as commercial factoring and financial leasing may be promulgated, and there will be clearer regulatory rules on commercial factoring's cross-regional operation and licensed operation. After the relevant rules are promulgated, the re-examination and approval of commercial factoring may be resumed.
Recently, Guizhou Province ushered in the first enterprise to obtain the financial leasing business license, and the Guizhou Provincial Local Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau approved the Guiyang Industrial Control Group's Guiyang Industrial Control Financial Leasing to operate financial leasing business.
It is understood that this is also the first enterprise in Guizhou to obtain a financial leasing business license since the implementation of the "Guizhou Provincial Local Financial Supervision and Administration Regulations" in 2022, and this may also be the first batch of financial leasing companies in the industry to be awarded a "business license".
At the end of 2021, Article 11 of the Regulations on Local Financial Supervision and Administration (Draft for Solicitation of Comments) issued by the People's Bank of China stipulates:The establishment of other local financial organizations (commercial factoring companies, financial leasing companies, etc.) shall be subject to the approval of the provincial-level local financial supervision and administration department and the issuance of business licenses, and the local financial organizations shall apply for business licenses with business licenses
Combined with the spirit of recent supervision, Xiaofu believes that in the future, local financial organizations, including commercial factoring companies, may be licensed (with business licenses) or have a greater possibility of landing.
After Circular No. 205, with the transfer of supervision and subordination of the commercial factoring industry, various localities gradually issued the Guidelines for the Supervision and Administration of Commercial Factoring, the establishment and change of commercial factoring were gradually regulated, and some empty shell and missing commercial factoring companies were also liquidated.
However, at present, the number of companies in the field of commercial factoring is still too large, and the quality is uneven, so Xiao believes that in the future, it is likely that the supply-side reform at the level of commercial factoring companies will be completed through licensing. Xiaofei believes that the commercial factoring license may reshape the image of the industry and promote the industry to usher in new opportunities for high-quality development.
In general, Xiaofu believes that in the future, commercial factoring should further "de-financialize", strengthen the positioning of industry experts, and be a link between industry and finance. As Han Jiaping, an industry expert and director of the Commercial Factoring Committee, said, "the industry should turn to professional credit management services and do non-financing factoring." At present, the level of corporate credit management is relatively poor, therefore, enterprises have a large number of demand for credit management outsourcing services, if the commercial factoring company has both management capabilities, and the ability to bear, and at the same time can solve the financing, then it is relatively easy to develop this market. ”
