Darlington FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Darlington
What advance rate is typical?+
Up to 90% of invoice value, with the balance (less fees) released when the customer pays.
How quickly can I draw against new invoices?+
Once the facility is live, you can typically draw within 24 hours of raising an invoice.
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.
Can I switch invoice finance providers?+
Yes — switching is routine, often to reduce cost or improve service. We arrange takeovers from existing facilities regularly.
Are FX-denominated invoices fundable?+

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.
