Invoice Finance for Accounts Receivable
Looking for an effective way of unlocking cash that’s already been invoiced to your clients?
Sometimes called Invoice Finance, Debtor Finance or Accounts Receivable Finance, this is like a cash advance based on the sales you’ve already made to your customers, without having to wait for the traditional 30, 60 or even 90 day payment periods.
In simple terms, a lender considers the invoices or monies you have owing as an asset. They’ll lend you a percentage of the money that’s owed to you, then pay you the remaining balance once they’ve collected the invoice, less a small percentage.
