Invoice Finance
Unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices and improve cashflow without taking on traditional debt. We help established businesses access flexible invoice finance facilities from a wide panel of lenders.
What is Invoice Financing?
Invoice financing allows businesses to access funding secured against outstanding customer invoices. Instead of waiting 30–90 days for payment, businesses can release a large percentage of invoice value immediately.
This type of funding grows alongside your turnover, making it particularly suitable for businesses with strong sales but slow payment terms.
Invoice finance is commonly used by:
- Manufacturers
- Recruitment firms
- Wholesalers
- Transport and logistics companies
- Business service providers
When Should You Use Invoice Finance?
Businesses typically consider invoice finance when:
- Cashflow is restricted by long payment terms
- Rapid growth is creating funding pressure
- Large contracts require upfront costs
- Overdraft limits are being reached
- Cashflow fluctuates month to month
Invoice finance helps align cash inflow with business activity.
