Guildford FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Guildford
Are there minimum turnover requirements?+
Most facilities want £100k+ annual turnover; selective single-invoice facilities can go lower.
How quickly can I draw against new invoices?+
Once the facility is live, you can typically draw within 24 hours of raising an invoice.
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.
Are there concentration limits?+
Yes — most facilities cap exposure to any one customer at 25–40% of the ledger. We'll structure with realistic limits for your debtor mix.
Will my customers know I'm using invoice finance?+
Not necessarily — confidential invoice discounting (CID) is invisible to your customers. Factoring is visible because the funder collects directly.
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.
