Stop waiting 30–60 days for freight payment while driver wages, fuel bills, and vehicle costs pile up. Amber Finance helps haulage and logistics businesses across Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley, and Walsall release up to 90% of their invoice value within 24 hours — keeping your fleet moving and your cashflow healthy.
The transport and logistics sector is one of the most cashflow-intensive industries in the UK. Driver wages are paid weekly, fuel costs are constant, and vehicle maintenance cannot be deferred — yet clients routinely pay freight invoices on 30, 45, or 60-day terms. For hauliers and logistics operators across the West Midlands, this creates a persistent working capital gap that limits growth and puts pressure on day-to-day operations.
Amber Finance is a Wolverhampton-based invoice finance broker with extensive experience arranging funding for transport and logistics businesses. We work with a panel of 50+ lenders, including specialists who understand the freight sector's unique billing cycles, fuel cost pressures, and the challenges facing both owner-operators and larger fleet operators.
Whether you run a single-vehicle owner-operator business in Dudley, a regional haulage company in Wolverhampton, a courier network in Birmingham, or a third-party logistics (3PL) operation in Walsall, we can find the right invoice finance facility to keep your cashflow moving and your vehicles on the road.
Transport and logistics businesses face unique financial pressures. Invoice finance is designed to solve them.
Freight and logistics payment terms of 30–60 days are standard, but driver wages, fuel, and vehicle costs cannot wait.
Fuel is one of the largest operating costs for any haulage business. Cashflow gaps make it impossible to absorb price spikes.
Winning new contracts means adding vehicles and drivers before the revenue arrives. Invoice finance bridges the gap.
If a major client goes insolvent with unpaid freight invoices, the impact on a haulage business can be catastrophic. Bad debt protection removes this risk.

Based in Wolverhampton, we arrange transport and logistics invoice finance for businesses throughout the West Midlands and beyond.
Transport invoice finance works by advancing up to 90% of the value of your freight invoices within 24 hours of raising them. Once your client pays, the remaining balance is released minus the lender's fee. This means you can cover driver wages, fuel, and vehicle maintenance without waiting 30–60 days for payment. As a Wolverhampton-based broker, we work with lenders who understand the transport sector's unique billing cycles and fuel cost pressures.
Yes. Many lenders on our panel will consider owner-operators and small haulage businesses with as little as £50,000 annual turnover. The key requirement is that you invoice other businesses (not consumers) on credit terms. We have helped numerous small hauliers and courier companies across Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley, and Walsall access their first invoice finance facility.
Invoice finance provides working capital that you can use for any business purpose, including fuel costs, vehicle maintenance, tyre replacement, and insurance. It does not directly pay fuel card providers, but by releasing cash from your invoices within 24 hours, you will have the funds available to cover these costs without cashflow pressure.
With factoring, the lender manages your credit control and chases client payments on your behalf — useful for smaller operators without a dedicated accounts function. Invoice discounting is confidential, meaning your clients do not know you are using finance and you retain control of collections. We will recommend the right option based on your business size and preferences.
Most transport and logistics businesses in the West Midlands can have a facility in place within 7–14 working days of application. Once live, funds are typically released within 24 hours of submitting an invoice. Some lenders offer same-day funding for established facilities.
