Why invoice finance suits logistics companies
In logistics, warehousing and distribution, cash flow stability is essential. Whether you're managing third-party fulfilment, running a distribution centre, operating a warehouse for retail or eCommerce clients, your costs may continue to rise.
Invoice finance bridges that gap by unlocking up to 90% of the value of your invoices within 24-48 hours, giving you immediate access to cash that can be used to:
- Purchase new stock and materials.
-
Pay suppliers and transport partners promptly.
-
Manage warehousing, logistics, and shipping costs.
How invoice finance works for logistics & warehouses
-
You raise an invoice after supplying goods to your customer.
-
Novuna advances up to 90% of that invoice value within 24-48 hours.
-
You use the funds to purchase stock, pay suppliers, or manage operations.
-
Once your customer pays, the remaining balance (minus a small service fee) is released to you.
