Pages in this SectionWhat is debt factoring?
Debt factoring is a form of invoice finance that helps businesses improve cash flow by selling their unpaid invoices to a third-party finance provider, known as a factor.
The factor pays a percentage of the invoice value upfront (typically 80-90%), collects payment directly from your customer, and then pays you the balance (minus fees) once the invoice is settled.
Unlike invoice discounting, debt factoring typically includes credit control support - helping you chase and manage payments professionally, while freeing up your time and internal resource.

Is debt factoring right for you?
You invoice other businesses (B2B) and have cash tied up in unpaid invoices
This is the primary reason businesses use invoice factoring by unlocking working capital tied up in unpaid invoices.
You want to unlock working capital to grow, invest, or cover day-to-day costs
Since you manage collections, solid internal processes are essential to make invoice discounting work effectively.
You prefer not to take on additional debt or dilute ownership
Invoice discounting is typically confidential, meaning customers aren't aware you're using external financing.
If that sounds like your business, we’ll help you compare lenders and get funded fast.
