The released funds improve the business’ working capital and cash flow.
Invoice finance is a common solution to assist a company’s cash flow with the average rates in between 1.5% – 2.5% of the total invoice value (including VAT).
Spot Invoice Finance
Also known as Single Invoice Finance, Spot Factoring or Selective Invoice Discounting, this is a common type of invoice finance widely used in the UK.
It works in exactly the same way as invoice finance except that you select which invoices you would like financed.
Spot invoice finance could be a good option if; you have minimal bad debts, your customers mainly pay on time, customers have a minimum of 30-90 days in which to pay.
