Pages in this SectionWhat is Invoice Discounting?
Invoice discounting is when a business finances their sales ledger continuously by releasing funds against unpaid invoices.
Unlike invoice factoring, invoice discounting is confidential and your customers will be unaware of the finance arrangement. This also means you retain full control over your sales ledger and customer relationships.
Key Benefits of Invoice Discounting
Confidentiality
Maintain customer relationships as they are unaware of the finance arrangement.
Retain Control
Manage your own credit control and collections.
Scalability
As your sales grow, the available funding increases.
Advantages of Invoice Discounting Over Other Finance Options
Quicker Access to Funds
Receive funds within days instead of weeks or months.
Less Stringent Requirements
Approval is often based on the creditworthiness of your customers, not just your business.
Lower Costs
Typically cheaper than invoice factoring due to the absence of credit control services.
How to Apply for Invoice Discounting
Assess Your Needs
Determine if invoice discounting suits your business model.
Submit Documentation
Provide the necessary invoices and business information.
Receive Funding
