Carlisle FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Carlisle
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.
What advance rate is typical?+
Up to 90% of invoice value, with the balance (less fees) released when the customer pays.
What does it cost?+
Two main charges: a service fee (0.5–3% of turnover) and a discount fee on funds drawn (typically base + 2–4%). We'll model the all-in annual cost on your real numbers.
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.
Are FX-denominated invoices fundable?+
Yes — most major lenders fund USD, EUR and GBP invoices. Other currencies via specialist providers.
What happens if my sales drop?+
Funding scales with the ledger, so drawing reduces. Minimum fees typically apply. We'll factor seasonality in when structuring.
