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.

How does Invoice Financing/discounting work?

A factoring company is a specialist lender and is here to support UK SME's get fast funding for their business. The process is very simple:

  1. We would help you agree an invoice finance (the invoice provider takes control of your credit control) or invoice discounting (you carry out credit control as normal) facility with a suited finance lender. This agreement will include what percentage of the invoice will be paid out to you.
  2. As a business you sell your services/products to another business, as you normally would. You would then invoice your clients as normal.
  3. You would send this / multiple invoices to the invoice finance lender.
  4. They would release a percentage of each invoice value sent, directly to you - with 24/48 hours, depending on the lender.

When the invoice is paid by your client/customer the invoice amount that was paid is paid back to the finance provider plus the pre-agreed service fee.

What fees are payable?

Our lenders are transparent and everything is clear and fully explained to you before anything is agreed. Expect there to be 2 fees involved:

  1. Discount Fee - The cost of borrowing. This is calculated as a percentage of the invoice value.
  2. Service Fee - Cost of taking out the facility. This is calculated as a percentage of your gross turnover.
