What is Factoring

What is Factoring

Because invoice finance is linked to sales then the facility is ideal for funding growth by providing immediate working capital.
A key advantage of factoring is flexibility. The amount you can borrow grows in line with sales and it is often possible for you to repay bank facilities and release previously pledged security.

How much can I borrow with a factoring facility?
Typically, within 24 hours of the factoring facility being set up you can borrow up to about 85% of the value of your approved invoices. The remaining 15% is paid to you, less a small service fee, once payment is received from your customer. Once the invoice finance facility is established, the level of advance you receive against invoices depends on a number of issues, but can rise as high as 100%.
Once the factoring facility is in place, there is no limit to the amount you can borrow as the level of finance is directly linked to the level of sales. So as your business grows so does the amount of funding available to you. This is in sharp contrast to bank overdrafts, which require regular re-negotiation and arrangement fees.

How much does factoring cost?
There is NO CHARGE for our brokering service.
Factoring and invoice discounting services are tailored to your business so the fees will depend upon your specific needs.
There are two types of fee. The first is the cost of the money you use, which is extremely competitive when compared with other forms of finance. The second is a service fee.
Small additional charges are often made for extra services as required such as credit insurance.
