Why Use an Independent Invoice Finance Broker?

Going direct to a single lender means you only see one set of rates and terms. As an independent broker, Amber Finance compares the entire market — giving West Midlands businesses access to the most competitive invoice finance and factoring facilities available.

Whole-of-Market Access

We work with 50+ lenders including high street banks, challenger banks, specialist lenders, and fintech providers — so you get the widest possible choice.

Independent Advice

We are not tied to any single lender. Our only obligation is to find the right facility for your business — whether that's factoring, discounting, or spot finance.

Better Rates & Terms

Our panel relationships and volume of business mean we can often negotiate preferential rates and terms that businesses cannot access directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many invoice finance lenders do you work with?

Amber Finance has access to over 50 invoice finance and factoring lenders, including high street banks, specialist lenders, challenger banks, and fintech providers. This gives West Midlands businesses the widest possible choice of facilities.

Which invoice finance lender is best for my business?

The best lender depends on your sector, turnover, debtor profile, and whether you want a disclosed (factoring) or confidential (discounting) facility. We assess your requirements and match you to the most suitable lender — often one that businesses cannot access directly.

Is Bibby Financial Services a good invoice finance provider?

Bibby Financial Services is one of the UK's largest independent invoice finance providers and is well-regarded for their sector expertise and flexible approach to SMEs. They are particularly strong for manufacturing, recruitment, and transport businesses.

What is the difference between factoring and invoice discounting?

With invoice factoring, the lender manages your sales ledger and collects payments from your customers on your behalf. With invoice discounting, the facility is confidential — your customers are unaware, and you continue to collect payments yourself. Both release up to 90–95% of invoice value within 24 hours.

Do you charge a fee for your brokerage service?

No. Amber Finance's service is completely free to businesses. We are paid by the lender once a facility is arranged, not by you. There is no cost to getting a whole-of-market comparison.

How quickly can invoice finance be arranged?

Most facilities can be agreed in principle within 24–48 hours and fully drawn down within 5–10 working days. Some lenders, particularly fintech providers, can fund within 24 hours of approval.
