Definition of Invoice Factoring?
Invoice Factoring (also known simply as Factoring) is a flexible Invoice Finance solution that advances working capital to a business as it issues new invoices.
According to Wikipedia, Invoice Factoring is: a financial transaction and a type of debtor finance in which a business sells its accounts receivable (i.e., invoices) to a third party (called a factor) at a discount.
It is the umbrella term for many forms of Invoice Factoring, such as Disclosed Invoice Factoring, Confidential Invoice Factoring, Recourse Invoice Factoring and CHOCS.
It is the most common form of Invoice Finance in the UK and the number one alternative to bank overdrafts and bank loans.
How does it work?
Instead of waiting for all your customers to pay you, by using Invoice Factoring, you are able to receive funds up to the value of 90% of your unpaid sales invoices.
Our experienced and professional credit control team will then take the responsibility for securing the payments from your valuable customers.

Access to working capital can mean that you can effectively balance supplier payments, manpower costs and costs of overheads without worrying when your clients will pay.
