Key features

Invoice discounting is an alternative solution to traditional types of business finance
It provides instant access to cash tied up in outstanding invoices
It adapts with businesses as they change and grow, making it much more flexible than an overdraft or loan
You maintain control over the collection of payments, making the facility entirely confidential

How does invoice discounting work?

You supply your goods or services and you invoice your clients as usual.

Our market-leading software, IDeal™, integrates with your accounting system and releases funds in real-time with your ledger.

We pay you up to 90% of the value of each invoice the instant you raise them.

You maintain control over managing collections. When your client settles the invoice you get the remaining balance less an agreed fee.

Achieving your business goals

We work with businesses from a wide range of sectors to help them meet their goals, whether it's improving cash flow, mitigating late payments or managing seasonal demand. If some of your turnover is export, we can also consider providing finance against these sales, especially if combined with our bad debt protection solution.
