INVOICE FINANCING
If you are an SME who needs to raise finance quickly, then invoice financing may be the right option for you. It allows you to raise capital against unpaid invoices, generally up to 90- 95% of their value and provide working capital for your business, to be used for whatever you may need it for.
Invoice factoring works as a credit line facility on a rolling basis for your business allowing you to always have working capital in your business.

- They would release a percentage of each invoice value sent, directly to you – with 24/48 hours, depending on the lender.
