Invoice Finance a well known business funding solution and is the sale of a business’s unpaid invoices to an Invoice Funder for a payment of up to 100% of the value of the invoices.

This helps the business receive instant access to the cash they’ve earned, preventing the wait of 30 to 90 days for debtors to pay invoices.

How do you know if your business is suited to Invoice Finance?

• Ideally they will have owners who manage their operations (e.g. Limited, Partnerships, Sole Traders)
• Raise invoices to other companies
• Businesses will provide a product or a service
• Demonstrate goods and/or services have been fully delivered

See our sectors page for more information on the types of businesses which can benefit from invoice financing.  If you are unsure, ask our team at Go-Factor at Letstalk@Go-Factor.co.uk who are waiting to help you.

An extensive credit history is not required to be eligible for Invoice Finance. This is unlike the common requirements of many other forms of external funding, such as bank loans and business overdrafts, which tend to focus on perceived worth in the Balance Sheet or insist on taking charges over the marital home in order to provide a facility.

Your sales ledger will be used to determine whether you can access invoice finance. This means those businesses which may have been turned down for bank funding due to a lack of credit history are often able to get funding through invoice finance.

We are able to fund businesses ranging from complete new-starts to established businesses with sales of up to £50,000 per annum.

You can release up to 100% of your the value of your invoice.

Invoice Factoring, as well as providing cash in exchange for invoices, also provides your business with a credit control function; we load your sales ledger and customers onto our system in order to ‘mirror’ your own records. Our experienced and professional team consequently take the responsibility for securing the payments from your valuable customers, giving you the peace of mind that your customers are being dealt with by an industry-leading credit control team. We send statements and Remittance Advices each month and can tailor a chasing letter cycle to your requirements – in the age of ever-increasing costs of postage, this can be a valuable cost saving to your business.

With Invoice Discounting, we fund the total outstanding value of the sales ledger. We don’t include a specialist credit control function or send letters and statements, which means your own credit control team act as normal and continue chasing payments.

We ask for various standard reports at the end of each month and you are required to undertake a simple reconciliation exercise to ensure that our sales ledgers match.

In a word; no. 

You will be provided with a dedicated credit controller who, in effect, becomes an extension of your own team; chasing and collecting payment using the methods you already use and ensuring your valuable customer relationships are maintained.
