Turn outstanding invoices into cash in 24 hours with invoice discounting finance...

  • Release up to 90% of outstanding invoices within 24 hours

  • Pay bills quickly and benefit from supplier discounts

  • Ongoing facility that grows with sales volume

  • Maintain existing credit control

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...

invoice discounting case studyA 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...

invoice finance case studyA 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.



Retain full control of your sales ledger and credit control...

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...

confidential invoice discouting case studyA 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.
