Invoice Discounting

Cash-flow as required

Factoring and invoice discounting allows a business to access cash that would otherwise be tied up in sales. Where a company has the inability to increase its cash-flow (often its overdraft) in line with sales, the result is often the loss of custom as well as profitability. 

Managing their traditional borrowings more effectively.

How it works

Both Factoring and invoice discounting work on the same principle that it provides an immediate advance against sales, typically 80-85% of an invoice / ledger are advanced with the balance due minus finance charges once the invoice(s) are settled. 

Factoring is ideally aimed at the new or relatively small business who would not only benefit from linking their finances to their sales but would be assisted by having their sales ledger managed as a part of the facility provided. 

Invoice discounting is targeted at the business with an established accounting system who can demonstrate a good record of account management and who would require no assistance in the on-going management of the ledger. 

This enables such a company to have their invoice discounting arrangements remain entirely confidential with their customers being invoiced directly and making payments to the company as usual.
