The recording of a profitable transaction will increase an asset and increase owners equity such as the sale of a product: Either Cash or Accounts Receivable would increase; and Current Profit increases (which is included in owners equity).
Accounts receivable would appear as an asset (+) on a balance sheet.
When there is credit risk in accounts receivable, the amount that is expected to be uncollectible needs to be subtracted from accounts receivable (resulting in net accounts receivable). In case there is no such allowance created, accounts receivable is overstated. As a result, equity is overstated as well (since there are no expenses booked to create the allowance). Thus, not including the allowance leads to overstated assets and overstated equity.
Owners Equity accounts are increased by a credit. If you look at the accounting equation you will see the logic Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity You can't add a debit + credit. So Owners Equity Increases with a credit.
Receivable factoring works by purchasing the accounts receivable for immediate cash. This enables businesses to grow without incurring debt or diluting equity.

CREDIT
On a balance sheet, "accounts receivable" are considered an asset. . NOT a liability. Think about it . . this is money that is due to the business compared to "accounts payable" which is money due to someone else. . .and thus a liability.
Rendering services on account increases accounts receivable, as well as equity (retained earnings) For example, a company has provided cleaning services for an amount of $200; the customer is allowed a three week credit assets = liabilities + equity accounts receivable (assets): increases with +200 retained earnings (equity): increases with + 200 +200 = +200
