What it is

Invoice finance releases working capital against unpaid invoices, allowing a business to access a significant proportion of their value before the customer pays. Rather than waiting 30, 60 or 90 days, cash tied up in the sales ledger can be put back to work in the business.

The structure can take several forms. With factoring, the funder typically manages collections directly. Invoice discounting allows the business to retain control of its customer relationships and collections, and can often be structured confidentially. Selective and single-invoice facilities can provide funding against individual debtors or invoices without financing the entire ledger.

Invoice finance is particularly effective when a profitable, growing business is generating sales faster than customer payments are arriving. Pricing typically combines a service fee with a financing charge on the funds actually drawn. We look at the total cost and structure of competing facilities so they can be compared on a like-for-like basis, rather than relying on a headline rate alone.

Who it suits
  • You invoice other businesses on 30, 60 or 90-day payment terms.
  • Growth is absorbing working capital faster than customer payments are arriving.
  • You want a confidential facility that allows you to retain control of customer relationships and collections.
  • You want to release capital against a specific invoice, debtor or your wider sales ledger.

Common questions

The questions we're asked most about invoice finance. If yours isn't here, ask us directly.

Not under a confidential discounting facility. Under factoring the funder manages collections, so they will.

No. Selective and single invoice facilities let you fund specific debtors or one large invoice.

Two elements: a service fee on turnover and a discount margin on funds drawn. We will normalise competing quotes so you can compare them on the same basis.
