Invoicing financing, also known as invoice factoring, or debt factoring, allows businesses to manage their cash flow, giving them the freedom to grow. An invoice finance company buys a business’ invoices and releases a percentage of the invoice (up to 90%) immediately. Invoice financing can be faster and more cost effective than a bank loan. Here’s what you need to know about invoice financing:
-
Invoice financing can give you access to funding on the day you provide your invoice, giving you up to 90% of the value of that invoice.
-
Factoring companies will credit check potential customers, meaning you can work with companies who pay on time.
-
Invoice finance can be confidential (known as invoice discounting), so clients don’t need to know you’re working with a factoring company and borrowing against their invoices.
-
The factoring company will look after your sales ledger, and chase up any unpaid invoices, allowing you time to focus on other areas of your business.
-
Once the factoring company has received payment from your invoice, the outstanding balance will be pad to you, less any fees / interest agreed.
-
Invoice financing can save you money – it is often cheaper than using an overdraft from your bank.
-
Selective invoice financing allows you to release money on an invoice-by-invoice basis.
-
Invoice finance can help businesses in any industry. These include engineering, recruitment, manufacturing, transport, IT, media, construction and automotive.
-
Invoice finance with credit protection means that your business is protected from the risk of unpaid invoices, should one of your customers go out of business owing you money.
