Period stock dominates the lettable market, and operators with strong management track record can stretch leverage further than first-time landlords. Cambridge itself anchors a university city, with activity concentrated around Cambridge Science Park, Granta Park.

Cambridge FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Cambridge
What advance rate is typical?+
Up to 90% of invoice value, with the balance (less fees) released when the customer pays.
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.
Is invoice finance suitable for my sector?+
Most B2B sectors qualify — manufacturing, hauliers, recruiters, wholesalers, professional services, distribution. Some sectors (construction, retail) need specialist funders.
Can I use invoice finance and asset finance together?+
Yes — they sit alongside each other. The asset is the asset funder's security; the invoices are the invoice funder's. We arrange both.
Can I switch invoice finance providers?+
Yes — switching is routine, often to reduce cost or improve service. We arrange takeovers from existing facilities regularly.
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.
