Frequently asked questions
about invoice finance

What is invoice finance?

Invoice finance is a funding solution that allows businesses to unlock cash tied up in unpaid customer invoices. Instead of waiting 30, 60, or even 90 days for clients to pay, a finance provider advances most of the invoice value upfront, giving you immediate access to working capital.

What varieties of invoice finance does eCapital offer?

Invoice Finance: eCapital handles your sales ledger and collections, giving you time back to focus on the core business.

Invoice Discounting: Keep collections in-house; customers remain unaware of the financing arrangement.

Selective Invoice Finance: Finance specific invoices—for added control and flexibility, without committing your entire ledger. eCapital offers up to 80% funding on chosen invoices.

Bad Debt Protection: Safeguard your business against non-payment or customer insolvency.

What benefits does invoice finance bring to UK SMEs?

Immediate cash flow to cover expenses, payroll, suppliers, and growth activities—no longer waiting weeks or months for customer payments.

Scalable funding: Invoice finance flexes in line with your turnover, ensuring that as demand increases, the funding available to you increases too – keeping growth ambitions fully supported.

Non-debt solution: Because invoice finance unlocks cash from invoices already owed, it strengthens cash flow without adding debt – giving you flexibility and financial resilience.

Time savings and expertise: By handling your credit control and sales ledger administration, invoice finance removes the burden of chasing invoices – giving you back the time and headspace to drive your business forward.

Is invoice finance suitable for my industry or business stage?

Yes—eCapital supports a broad range of UK SMEs, from startups to established companies, across sectors like logistics, recruitment, wholesale, and manufacturing.

Invoice finance vs. bank loans: What’s the difference?

In a traditional environment, a company or small business owner will borrow money in the form of a cash advance from a lending institution and pledge collateral to secure the bank loan. Over time, the company or individual will work to pay this loan back with interest. Depending on the loan structure, payments may be due monthly, starting immediately, or the full principal and interest will be due at some specified date in the future.

Invoice finance, by contrast, uses your existing invoices as collateral. If you have outstanding invoices due from your customers, you can sell those invoices to a third party for a discount. You’ll get an immediate injection of cash, and your customers will pay their invoices directly to the third party for goods and services.

What should I consider when choosing an invoice finance provider?

Look for:

Industry experience

Transparent fee structure

Flexible agreements (e.g., not locked into long-term contracts)

Fast, clear communication and strong client support
