What is manufacturing invoice finance?

Waiting weeks or months for payments can strain cash flow. Invoice financing helps keep money moving, giving you access to funds as soon as invoices are raised, even when projects are delayed or supply chains are disrupted. Take the pressure off working capital and unlock the cash tied up in unpaid invoices today.

How does manufacturing invoice finance work?

Once you raise an invoice, we advance up to 90% of its value – usually within 24 hours, with the balance paid once your customer settles. This gives you access to funds, helping bridge the gap between production costs and customer payments. Invoice finance for manufacturing companies turns your sales ledger into a reliable source of working capital that grows in line with your turnover.

Benefits of invoice finance for manufacturing companies

Improved cash flow

Free up working capital from your sales invoices to pay staff, suppliers and essential overheads on time. This help you to avoid production delays and run operations more smoothly - without waiting on customer payments.

Funding for materials and production

Invoice finance is a scalable funding solution that gives you the flexibility to buy materials in bulk, negotiate better pricing, upgrade technology and manage long production cycles more effectively.

Support business growth

Whatever your next growth step looks like, new equipment, extra capacity, digital systems or greener operations, invoice finance can help fund it. As a flexible finance option, you can invest sooner, take on bigger orders with confidence and keep momentum without waiting for customers to pay.

Invoice finance products for the manufacturing industry

Invoice discounting for manufacturing

Invoice discounting allows you to retain control of customer relationships by managing invoicing and collections yourself. Once invoices are raised, we advance up to 90% of their value. This confidential solution keeps your processes unchanged while unlocking working capital to improve cash flow and support growth.

Asset based lending for manufacturing

Asset-based lending is often well suited to manufacturers with significant inventory, machinery, equipment, property or real estate. By using business assets as collateral, firms in the manufacturing industry can typically access higher levels of funding than through traditional cash-flow-based lending alone.

Invoice factoring suits manufacturers that want to outsource credit control and collections. After you raise an invoice, we advance up to 90% of its value. We manage your sales ledger and follow up payments, freeing your team to focus on production.
