Pages in this SectionWhat is invoice trading?
Invoice trading is a flexible form of invoice finance that allows businesses to raise cash by selling individual unpaid invoices to investors through an online platform. Unlike traditional facilities such as invoice factoring, you’re not tied into a long-term agreement.
Instead, you decide when and which invoices to trade, giving you complete control over your cash flow strategy. When your customer pays the invoice in full, the balance (minus fees) is released back to you. This makes invoice trading a quick and efficient way to turn receivables into immediate working capital.
