Benefits of Invoice Discounting

Invoice Discounting is a very common funding solution business owners use to rejuvenate cash flow.

Businesses who deal with invoices will often find lows in their cash flow occur, and a funding facility such as Invoice Discounting can be put in place to fix that.

An Invoice Finance facility will allow you to release funds tied up in your invoices within 24 hours of them being raised. This will effectively allow you to be paid immediately for the works completed.

Invoice Discounting is completely confidential, which means your customers are not disclosed to the fact that a lender is involved in the payment process. You also retain control of your sales ledger, and can send out reminders for payment yourself.

keyboard_arrow_down

Invoice Finance facilities have varying amounts of accessible funds. Rather than a monetary maximum amount of monies available, Invoice Finance is calculated by what percentage of your invoice can be advanced. Most lenders can advance up to 90% of your invoice value. The percentage of your invoice being advanced also depends on which industry you operate in, with some being more/less preferable.
