Watford FAQs
Common questions about invoice finance in Watford
What ledger size suits invoice finance?+
Most Watford businesses with £100k+ outstanding receivables can benefit. Below that, alternatives are usually cheaper.
Will I need a personal guarantee?+
Usually yes — director PGs are standard, though scope and capping vary. We'll explain before you sign.
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.
Will the lender need to verify invoices?+
Yes — at outset and periodically. With confidential facilities, verification is light-touch and invisible to customers.
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.
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.
