IT'S A WAY TO GET PAID QUICKLY

Invoice finance is a method of obtaining cash

advances on a business' unpaid invoices. The

business will receive a percentage of the invoice's

value up­front, meaning that they won't have to

wait the typical 30­90 days to receive the money

they're owed.

IT'S A SIMPLE 3-STEP PROCESS

1. A business will send an unpaid invoice to a finance

provider

2. The finance provider will give the business a

percentage of the invoice's value right away

3. The original recipient will have the usual amount of

time to pay the invoice

INVOICE FINANCE CAN BE SPLIT INTO THREEDIFFERENT TYPES:

INVOICE FACTORING,INVOICE DISCOUNTING, &SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE

INVOICE FACTORING

A finance provider will advance 85­90% of anunpaid invoice

They'll charge the business a one­time

arrangement fee, a monthly fee, and a charge

based on the amount of funding that was

advanced

The finance provider will be responsible for

collecting the payment from the original

recipient of the invoice

Because of this, invoice factoring can be

preferred by small businesses without their

own collection teams

INVOICE DISCOUNTING

The same percentages are advanced and the

same fees are charged in invoice factoring and

invoice discounting

With invoice discounting, the business is

responsible for collecting payment, not the

finance provider

This means that invoice discounting is more

attractive to larger businesses with in­house

collection teams

Invoice discounting can often have lower rates

than invoice factoring

SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE

A business' supply chain is its network of

suppliers and clients

Supply chain finance is a cash advance

based on the credit rating of a business'

supply chain, rather than its own credit

rating

This means a business can often benefit

from lower rates and better terms

because of the higher credit rating of the

businesses it deals with

INVOICE FINANCE IS NOW AVAILABLE TOTHOUSANDS MORE BUSINESSES

Previously, clauses in contracts that were

meant to prevent subcontracting also made

it difficult or impossible to access invoice

finance, but new legislation from the

government has changed that. It's still

possible to prevent subcontracting, but

contracts can't restrict access to invoice

finance any more. That means that invoice

finance is now available to thousands more

businesses.
