Invoice finance enables you to unlock the funds tied up in one of your biggest assets; outstanding customer invoices. Invoice finance gives you an immediate cash injection and then an ongoing supply of funds into the business based on your level of sales.

Which type of businesses benefit from invoice finance?

  • Fast-growing firms lacking the capital resources and cashflow to fund expansion plans.
  • Start-up businesses and young companies with a turnover of at least £50,000 per annum (all funding decisions are based on the strength of current sales ledger and not past trading performance).
  • Larger businesses looking to fund a range of major transactions – such as Management Buy-Outs (MBOs), mergers and acquisitions.
  • Those businesses that have cashflow difficulties or who have been the victim of late payment.

We work with a variety of funders so you can ensure that you get the best invoice finance package that will work for you and your business.

SME’s are increasingly finding their existing overdraft facilities too restrictive and with the banks being unwilling to lend more whilst also requiring more personal security and higher fees, the business owner must look elsewhere to secure alternative funding for your business.

This has allowed alternative forms of funding to step in and fill some of the vacuum, with a variety of flexible facilities being available such as asset based lending. Many businesses have capital tied up in assets, such as stock, plant & machinery and property. Asset based lending allows the cash held within these assets to be released into the business, giving you fast access to substantial sums of working capital.

Who is asset based lending for?

Asset based lending is generally aimed at larger companies. Normally asset based lending facilities will only be available alongside an invoice discounting facility.

Why asset based lending could work for you:

  • Asset based lending can be a fast, easily-accessible and cost-effective way to improve cash flow. It provides a stable alternative to traditional lending products and can ease cash flow fluctuations.
  • In addition, you may raise more money than through other types of facilities as the lenders are specialists in the assets understanding the risks and thus potentially willing to lend more. Asset based lending is a cost-effective alternative for you to increase working capital having to raise equity. The size of working capital actually grows in line with your with your company. As your assets increase in value so does the facility.
