Invoice Finance for UK Businesses

Release up to 90% of your invoice value within 24 hours. Invoice finance turns your unpaid invoices into immediate working capital, helping you improve cashflow, pay suppliers, and fund growth without waiting 30-90 days for customer payments.

What is Invoice Finance?

Invoice finance (also called invoice funding or debtor finance) is a form of asset-based lending that allows businesses to unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices. Instead of waiting 30, 60, or 90 days for customers to pay, you can access up to 90% of the invoice value within 24 hours of raising it.

It works by selling your invoices to a finance company (the lender or factor), who advances you most of the value immediately. When your customer pays, the lender releases the remaining balance minus their fee. This creates a continuous funding line that grows with your sales.

Invoice finance is not a loan—you're not borrowing money or taking on debt. You're simply accessing your own money faster. It's particularly popular with businesses experiencing growth, seasonal peaks, or cashflow gaps caused by long payment terms.

Typical Costs & Fees

Invoice finance costs vary based on your turnover, industry, debtor quality, and facility size. There are typically two main charges:

  • Service fee (or discount fee): Usually 0.5% to 3% of invoice value. This covers the lender's administration, credit checks, and collections (for factoring).
  • Interest charge: Charged on the cash advanced, typically 1.5% to 3% above Bank of England base rate. Only charged for the time you use the funds.

Example: A £100,000 invoice with 2% service fee and 2.5% annual interest (assuming 60-day payment term) would cost approximately £2,400 in total fees.
