Invoice Factoring - What is IF

What is Invoice Factoring?

Build working capital with better cash flow

Invoice Factoring (also known as Debt Factoring or just Factoring) is ideal for businesses like yours who are either facing cash flow challenges or keen to grow, and want a professional team to help with credit control. As an alternative bank loans, overdrafts or credit cards, it can bridge the gap between raising customer invoices and getting paid. At the same time, it can free up your time because we manage your invoicing and collection processes.

If on the other hand you prefer to manage credit control in-house, you should think about using Invoice Discounting.

Invoice Factoring explained

Invoice Factoring allows businesses access to funds against what is often their most significant asset – the debtor book. Supporting clients of all sizes, from start-ups to corporates, it can be particularly useful for small businesses who want to build working capital to grow their business without the burden of fixed-cost lending such as a traditional bank loan.

We help our clients by being discreet

If you do not want your customers to know how you’re funded or if you have reliable collection practices in place and would prefer to keep your credit control function in-house, we can offer a confidential service.

This means we do not tell your customers that you are using a finance facility and you maintain the relationship with your customers, without their knowledge of our involvement. It is always our intention to act in your best interest.

When it comes to your customers paying their invoices, and to keep the process confidential, your customers make payments into a trust bank account in your name even though the funds are paid to us.
