Birmingham FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Birmingham
How long does it take to go live?+
Most Birmingham facilities go live in 2–4 weeks. Simpler structures and smaller facilities can complete faster.
What is bad-debt protection?+
Optional cover that protects you if a customer becomes insolvent. Typically adds 0.3–0.6% to the service fee. Worth it for concentrated debtor books.
How is it different from a bank overdraft?+
Invoice finance scales with sales — the more you invoice, the more you can draw. An overdraft is a fixed limit that doesn't grow with you.
What advance rate is typical?+
Up to 90% of invoice value, with the balance (less fees) released when the customer pays.
Can I keep my existing overdraft?+
Sometimes — depends on the bank's appetite. Often the bank's debenture must be released or shared with the invoice funder.
Is invoice finance more expensive than a loan?+
Per pound borrowed, often slightly more. But it grows with sales and doesn't need security beyond the invoices — different proposition.
