Portsmouth FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Portsmouth
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.
Can a Portsmouth 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.
Will I need a personal guarantee?+
Usually yes — director PGs are standard, though scope and capping vary. We'll explain before you sign.
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.
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.
Is invoice finance available for start-ups?+
Limited — most lenders want 6+ months trading. Selective facilities can work earlier with verifiable invoices.
