How Forward Finance can help your business

We understand that new and small businesses need funding to develop and grow. Our Forward Finance solution helps to meet the needs of businesses with a turnover of under £300,000. Allowing you to unlock the value of your invoices, with no long-term contracts and no set up fees.

Forward Finance is ideal small business funding if you have customers on long payment terms, or who often don’t pay on time, creating a cashflow gap. You can benefit from a cash boost and the peace of mind of a more predictable cashflow.

It’s a great funding option that allows you to manage your business more efficiently or if you want to grow to the next level.


What is Factoring?

Factoring is a quick and easy way to release cash that's tied up in your customers' outstanding invoices, allowing you to access your funds earlier. To find out how Factoring works and how it can help your business, watch our short What is Factoring? video.
