Outstanding invoices can have a serious impact on cash flow effecting your profitability and growth potential.
Invoice Discounting improves cash flow by supplying immediate cash against the value of your outstanding invoices. As you raise an invoice, up
to 90% of the invoice value is paid to you within 24 hours. The remaining 10% is paid to you once your customers pay, less a small service
fee.
Wine merchant enjoys new lease of life after invoice discounting...
A small supplier of quality fine wines required cashflow funding after making a considerable loss
in the previous trading year due to late payment of orders.
Although the company had a full order book and efficient accounting systems, the owner was ready to retire and sell out
at a loss. An invoice discounting facility was arranged with a major UK lender just 8 working days after the
initial contact. Pressure on cash flow was reduced which enabled the business to invest in new markets and increase turnover
by 22% over the following 12 months trading.

A flexible source of cash that automatically grows with your sales...
Once in place, Invoice Discounting gives your business access to a fast and reliable source of cash directly linked to your sales.
Unlike traditional bank finance which has to be regularly negotiated, invoice discounting is linked to your sales ledger and grows
automatically with your sales. So you always have access to cash when needed rather than being limited by a fixed ceiling facility.
Swimwear manufacturer secures deal with overseas supplier...
A swimwear manufacturer discovered a source of discounted materials from an new overseas market but with strict
net monthly terms.
The managing director expected the new supplier to result in an 8% improvement in margin per annum. However, the cash flow
pressures caused by strict trading terms required a finance facility which would be more flexible than their current
overdraft. A confidential invoice discounting agreement was recommended which, at a 85% prepayment, released £785,000
working capital into the business which proved vital in seizing this excellent opportunity.
After six months working with the new supplier all payments have been met by the increased facility and the company has achieved
in excess of 11% increase on gross margins so far.

Invoice Discounting offers all of the cashflow benefits of invoice factoring but without the need to hand over control of your sales ledger
and existing credit management. You are free to manage the issue and collection of all trade debts.
Therefore, customers will continue to settle invoices direct with you and be unaware of the finance arrangement.
Invoice finance enables electrical distributor to grow...
A Manchester-based electrical business was set-up in September 2001 and the founders met various bank managers
prior to trading to see how they could help fund the business.
No one demonstrated the flexible approach and understanding provided by our funding partners and within a few days they had an
offer on the table which was accepted.
The business started trading on 1st September 2001 and some stock was purchased towards the end of August, with the bulk
bought in September and paid for in October. Stock was funded by an invoice finance facility paying 80% on invoices enabling the
business to maintain the cashflow needed.
