The situation
The pattern is familiar: you win a large customer, ship product or deliver services, then wait 60-90 days. Meanwhile you've paid staff, suppliers and rent. Growth strangles the cash position.
How we approach it
We match the facility to your customer profile — confidential invoice discounting where you want customers unaware, factoring where you'd welcome collection support, selective invoice finance for single large invoices.
What that looks like in practice
- Up to 90% advance against invoice value, usually within 24 hours
- Confidential (CID) or disclosed (factoring) — your choice
- Bad-debt protection available where customer concentration is high
- Selective single-invoice options for one-off large invoices
- Facility grows automatically as your sales grow
Typical timeline
- Week 1Sales ledger reviewed, facility structure agreed.
- Week 2-3Legal documentation, IT integration.
- Week 3-4Facility live, first advances drawn.
Common questions
Will my customers know?
Not on a confidential facility — advances come directly to your business, collections stay with you. Only factoring makes it visible.
What if a customer doesn't pay?
On a recourse facility you carry the bad debt; with bad-debt protection the funder does. Cost differs — worth modelling both if concentration is meaningful.
Are there minimum turnover requirements?
Most facilities start at around £250k annual turnover. Selective invoice finance can work below that.
