Invoice finance is a way to gain quick access to funds by raising capital against your existing unpaid invoices.
This type of borrowing can be useful for businesses that have few assets to offer as collateral for a bank loan. It is used by companies who want to improve their cashflow, without having to wait for customers to make payment, giving you increased flexibility and headroom between incurring expenses and selling products.
Release up to 90% of an invoice value, giving your business an immediate cash injection
Fast and easy to set up with payment typically within 24 hours of the lender receiving the invoice.
Only pay interest on the money that you borrow, no draw down means there is no fee payable
Highly flexible funding facility compared to traditional business loans or overdrafts.
Types of Invoice Finance
There are 2 main subtypes of invoice finance: Invoice factoring and invoice discounting. The main difference between the two types of finance is who collects on the unpaid invoices
With invoice factoring, the company sells their sales ledger to a third-party lender (the factor) who collects the unpaid sums, manages your sales ledger and supports your credit control processes. This type of invoice financing can take away the strain of having to chase invoices yourself.
Invoice discounting is a confidential service in which you continue to manage your sales ledger and credit control processes, collecting payments from your customers directly so your current relationship with them remains.
