Invoice Finance

Cash flow, not
waiting for payment.

Release the cash tied up in unpaid invoices instead of waiting 30, 60, or 90 days for customers to pay — funding that grows in line with your sales.

Who this is for

B2B businesses waiting on payment.

If your business invoices other businesses on credit terms, invoice finance turns those unpaid invoices into available cash.

01

Factoring

Release a percentage of an invoice's value as soon as it's raised, with the remainder paid once your customer settles.

02

Invoice discounting

Access funding against your sales ledger while keeping credit control in-house — your customers need not know it's in place.

03

Growing businesses

Funding that scales automatically with your invoice volume, useful for businesses growing faster than their cash flow allows.

FAQs

Common questions.

What's the difference between factoring and invoice discounting?

Factoring typically involves the provider managing credit control and collecting payment directly from your customers. Invoice discounting keeps that process in-house, so your customers aren't aware funding is in place.

How much of an invoice's value can I access?

This varies by provider and sector, but an initial advance of a significant percentage of the invoice value is common, with the balance paid once the customer settles, minus fees.

Will my customers know I'm using invoice finance?

With invoice discounting, generally no — credit control stays with you. With factoring, the provider often deals with customers directly for collection.

Does this work for businesses with just a few large customers?

It can, though lender appetite may vary if your ledger is concentrated in a small number of customers rather than spread across many.
