Why Southend-on-Sea is a market we know

Southend-on-Sea FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Southend-on-Sea
Can I finance just one invoice?+
Yes — selective and spot invoice finance lets you fund individual invoices on demand. Useful for occasional large invoices or one-off cashflow needs.
Will the lender need to verify invoices?+
Yes — at outset and periodically. With confidential facilities, verification is light-touch and invisible to customers.
Is there a minimum term?+
Most facilities are 12 months minimum. Selective facilities are flexible — use only when needed.
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 use invoice finance and asset finance together?+
Yes — they sit alongside each other. The asset is the asset funder's security; the invoices are the invoice funder's. We arrange both.
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.
