Risks of Forfeiting in Capital Goods

Abstract
This paper examines risks of forfeiting in capital goods. It aims at analysing the forfeiting market, and suggesting strategies which may aid forfeiting companies. This study contributes to knowledge in that forfeiting is a relatively new financial instrument, and so an area which is under researched. The inductive approach has adopted which involves the use of semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire survey. It is found that forfeiting companies in general currently appear to lag behind those of other countries in terms of market share and productivity. In order to improve their competitiveness, it may be advisable for those forfeiting companies to focus on discrete market segments within the forfeiting market, as well as to improve the specialised skilling of their workforce.
