Invoice Finance / Invoice Discounting

Invoice finance is a way of releasing cash that is tied up in a company’s debtor book (unpaid invoices). The lender takes security over the unpaid invoices and releases a percentage of the invoice value to your business. There are multiple options available, from lending against 1 or a couple of specific invoices, or just lending against a specific debtor to lending against the whole debtor book. You can opt to borrow for as little as a few days, to having the security of a facility being in place for a few years. It really can be as flexible as you would like it to be. A typical example as to how this could improve your business’s cashflow would be if you offer your customers credit terms of 60 days, but you have to pay your suppliers in 30 days, there would be a cashflow timing difference and this could put pressure on the company’s cashflow or prevent growth.
