How does debtor financing work?
Debtor financing is an umbrella term for solutions that improve a company’s cash flow by financing its accounts receivable ledger. The most common solution is invoice factoring. It offers the most flexibility and has simplest qualification criteria. Invoice factoring is typically used by small and midsized companies.
Most invoice factoring programs finance your accounts receivable ledger in two instalments. The first instalment covers 80% – 85% of the value of your invoices. The remaining 15% – 20% is deposited into your account once the invoice is paid in full.
The finance company’s fees are deducted from the instalments. How and when the fees are deducted depends on the specific structure for your transaction.

Overdrafts vs. debtor finance
Small companies often try to handle temporary cash flow problems with an overdraft facility. The facility enables them to handle expenses while waiting for clients to pay their invoices.
However, overdraft facilities have some limitations. They can be inflexible, have a hard limit, and often must be secured by property. These limitations create a problem for some business owners.
Debtor financing solutions like invoice factoring can work better in many situations. They can be more flexible because the limit is tied to the credit quality of your sales ledger. Consequently, the line can accommodate growth. They also have simple qualification requirements and can be deployed quickly.
