How it works

  1. Takes 60 seconds

    Tell us what you invoice

    One number to start: what your customers currently owe you in unpaid invoices.

  2. 100+ lenders compared

    We match your ledger to lenders

    We compare facilities across our panel against your sector, invoice values and payment terms.

  3. Often within 24 hours

    You draw against your invoices

    Once the facility is live, funds are released against new invoices, often within 24 hours.

Facilities we have arranged

Invoice finance is sized from your sales ledger, not from a loan application. The more you invoice, the more the facility releases, with no need to reapply as you grow.

There are no fixed monthly repayments. The advance clears automatically when your customer settles the invoice, and you receive the balance less the agreed fees.

Is invoice finance right for you?

  • You invoice other businesses on credit terms

    B2B trading on 30, 60 or 90 day terms. B2C sales generally do not qualify.

  • Cash is tied up waiting to be paid

    Common in recruitment, construction subcontracting, manufacturing, wholesale and logistics.

  • You are a limited company, LLP or PLC

    We broker for incorporated businesses. Sole traders and ordinary partnerships are not eligible.

  • Your invoice values are typically over £5,000

    Most facilities set a minimum invoice threshold. Selective and spot products are more flexible.

Common questions

What does it cost?

Two charges typically apply. A service fee, usually 0.1% to 3% of turnover, covers the lender costs. Confidential discounting sits at the lower end of that range and factoring, which includes credit control, at the higher end. A discount charge, usually 1.75% to 3.5% above Bank of England base rate, applies to funds you draw. Exact pricing depends on volume, customer credit quality and facility type.

Will my customers know?

With confidential invoice discounting, no. You keep credit control and collect payments as normal. With factoring, the lender collects on your behalf, so the facility is disclosed.

How quickly can it be set up?

Indicative decisions are usually possible within a few working days. Once a facility is live you can draw against new invoices within 24 hours. Some selective lenders can set up in as little as 24 hours.

How much of my invoice can I release?

Typically 80% to 90% of the invoice value, and up to 100% on some confidential invoice discounting facilities. The balance, less the agreed fees, follows once your customer pays.

Do I have to fund every invoice?

No. Selective invoice finance and spot factoring let you fund individual invoices. Whole-ledger facilities fund all qualifying invoices and can price better at higher volumes.
