What is invoice financing?

As soon as your business raises an invoice, we’ll advance up to 95% of the invoice value. When your customer pays, we’ll then send you the remaining balance of the invoice minus any fees.

There are two primary invoice finance products, invoice discounting and invoice factoring. The main difference between discounting and factoring is who collects customer payments.

We also offer Customer Protection to make sure you receive a payment even if your customer unexpectedly can’t pay.
