Invoice Financing
If you rely on an overdraft, invoice finance could be a smarter solution. Instead of borrowing against your future, you’re unlocking cash that’s already yours — tied up in unpaid invoices. We’ll advance up to 90% of your invoice value, usually within 24 hours, so you can keep growing without waiting for customer payments to land.
Invoice Finance bridges the gap between the point at which you make a sale and the time payment is received from the debtor, which is usually 30 to 120+ days.

More information about Invoice Finance
Invoice Finance is a is a form of short-term borrowing in which a company uses its unpaid customer invoices as collateral to secure a loan or cash advance from a financial institution. This practice helps businesses to access funds tied up in outstanding invoices, providing them with the liquidity needed to meet immediate financial obligations, invest in growth, or take advantage of new opportunities.
Applicability:
Invoice discounting is particularly suitable for privately owned SME's with B2B sales and a steady stream of invoiced sales.
Process:
A business delivers goods or services to its customers and issues an invoice with payment terms.
Instead of waiting for the customers to pay within the agreed credit period, the business can choose to sell the invoice to a financial institution at a discount.
The financial institution advances a percentage of the invoice value to the business immediately, typically ranging from 70% to 90%.
Once the customer pays the invoice, the financial institution releases the remaining balance to the business, minus a fee.
Advantages:
Improved Cash Flow: Invoice discounting provides businesses with quick access to cash, enabling them to meet their operational expenses promptly.
Flexibility: It offers flexibility as businesses can choose which invoices to discount, allowing them to tailor the solution to their specific cash flow needs.
Costs and Fees:
The cost of invoice discounting includes the discount fee, which is a percentage of the total invoice value. The discount fee is influenced by factors such as the creditworthiness of the business's customers, the volume of invoices, and the terms of the invoice.
