Brighton Invoice finance: A Broker That Actually Picks Up
Bad-debt protection, concentration limits, FX-denominated invoices — the detail matters. We compare facilities on more than the headline advance rate, so the cost over a year actually stacks up.

Brighton FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Brighton
What if a customer doesn't pay?+
Without bad-debt protection, the unpaid invoice is recourse — you'd repay the advance. With protection, the funder takes the loss within agreed limits.
Can a Brighton construction business use invoice finance?+
Yes — construction-specific facilities accommodate retentions, applications for payment and CIS deductions, but only specialist funders. We'll route accordingly.
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.
Can I switch invoice finance providers?+
Yes — switching is routine, often to reduce cost or improve service. We arrange takeovers from existing facilities regularly.
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.
What advance rate is typical?+
Up to 90% of invoice value, with the balance (less fees) released when the customer pays.
