Sheffield FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Sheffield
How is it different from a bank overdraft?+
Invoice finance scales with sales — the more you invoice, the more you can draw. An overdraft is a fixed limit that doesn't grow with you.
Is there a minimum term?+
Most facilities are 12 months minimum. Selective facilities are flexible — use only when needed.
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.
Is invoice finance available for start-ups?+
Limited — most lenders want 6+ months trading. Selective facilities can work earlier with verifiable invoices.
Can a Sheffield 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.
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.
