Invoice funding
is another term for factoring or invoice discounting. It allows businesses
like your to raise cash very quickly indeed by selling unpaid invoices
to factoring companies at a small discount. In return, the cash you
will receive from invoice funding you can immediately put to
work in any way you choose.
Invoice funding
is usually less expensive than a bank loan or overdraft and it does
not risk any other assets as equity. It is also very useful from a credit
management point of view as the hassle and costs associated with collecting
the money when it becomes due falls to the factoring company and not
to you.
There are many creative
ways in which you can use invoice funding and associated procedures
to enhance your business. Companies who have not used this before often
report a huge transformation in the day to day working of the business
in addition to the enhanced cash flow. So much so that businesses which
start to use invoice factoring rarely go back to not using it -it just
makes so much sense!
