Pages in this SectionWhat is Invoice Finance?
Invoice finance helps businesses unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices. Instead of waiting weeks or months for customers to pay, businesses can access a portion of the invoice value, usually within 24 hours. This boosts cash flow and helps cover everyday expenses, invest in growth, or manage unexpected costs.
Invoice finance can be tailored to your needs—whether it's invoice factoring, invoice discounting, or financing selected invoices—offering control and flexibility while maintaining a healthy cash flow.
What is an Invoice Finance Company?
Your invoice finance company will usually release up to 90% of your business’s invoices straight away. On payment of the invoice from your customer, your invoice finance company will release the final amount minus any fees and charges for the service.
Types of Invoice Financing
There are 3 main types of invoice financing:
- Invoice Factoring: Sell your invoices to a factoring company and receive an advance. The factoring company handles collections.
- Invoice Discounting: Retain control over collections and receive an advance on your invoices from a finance provider.
- Selective Invoice Financing: Choose specific invoices to finance, providing flexibility and control.
