Factoring

Factoring is an invoice financing facility that allows your to release cash against your outstanding customer invoices as soon as they are raised. We also take away the hassle of chasing your customers' outstanding invoices, freeing you up to manage the day to day running of your business. This is the main difference to Invoice Discounting, where you still manage your own credit control.

Factoring in business is ideal if you have customers on long payment terms, or who often pay late, and spend more time than they would like managing customer payments. Our guide to factoring

Factoring helps you to improve your cashflow so you can run your business smoothly and efficiently. It also gives you have more time to focus on managing your business as we liaise with your customers for payment. Unlike a traditional funding such as an overdraft or loan, factoring grows in line with your turnover and works as a flexible solution to control your cashflow.
