Services: Invoice Finance

Invoice Financing, also known as invoice factoring, is a type of debtor financing. It enables small businesses to finance their invoices. It bridges the financial gap between raising an invoice and receiving a payment from the client. This financing improves your company’s cash flow and provides funds to pay essential business expenses.

Invoice financing is available to small companies and has simple qualification criteria. When used strategically, it can provide predictable cash flow and a platform for growth.

Do your clients pay on 30-day trading terms?

Small companies often have to offer 30-day trading terms to their business clients. Most larger companies expect to receive terms and often demand them as a condition of doing business with you.

Offering trading terms can create cash flow problems for businesses with limited cash reserves. The business may not have sufficient funds to cover expenses while waiting for invoice payments.

These cash flow problems usually increase for companies that are growing quickly. This situation may seem counterintuitive. However, growth frequently involves escalating expenditures before generating greater income.

How does invoice finance work?

Invoice finance solves this cash flow problem by financing your accounts receivable. It provides immediate funds that you can use to pay for expenses or to make new investments.

Transactions are usually financed in two instalments. The first instalment is advanced and deposited into your account once the finance company processes the invoice. It covers 70% to 85% of the invoice.

The remaining 15% to 30% is advanced into your account once your customer pays their invoice on their usual trading terms. Financing fees are deducted from the advances based on your agreed terms with the finance company.
