Southport FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Southport
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.
How long does it take to go live?+
Most Southport facilities go live in 2–4 weeks. Simpler structures and smaller facilities can complete faster.
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.
Is invoice finance available for start-ups?+
Limited — most lenders want 6+ months trading. Selective facilities can work earlier with verifiable invoices.
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.
