Invoice Factoring

What is Invoice Factoring?

Waiting 30, 60, or even 90 days for a customer to pay an invoice is a major drag on your cash flow. Invoice factoring is a straightforward way to fix that. Instead of letting your cash sit, locked away unpaid invoices. Factoring lets you unlock up to 90% of that value the moment you send the invoice.

At Best Invoice Discounting, we’re all about keeping your gears turning. We help you turn those “IOUs” into working capital, so you can stop stressing about bank balances and start focusing on your next big move.

How Does Invoice Factoring Work?

When you use invoice factoring services, the process is pretty seamless. Once you’ve done the work and sent the invoice to your client, a factoring company steps in and buys that debt from you. They’ll advance you a large amount of the cash, usually between 85-90%, right away.

But the best part is: the factoring company also takes over the “chasing.” They handle the credit control and debt collection on your behalf. For many small to medium-sized businesses, it is a total game-changer because it wipes out the headache of following up on late payments. You get your money, and they handle the paperwork.

Additional Perks of Invoice Factoring

• No More Stress: We’ve all been there, staring at a screen waiting for a payment to land so you can cover payroll or rent. With invoice factoring, that anxiety disappears. You get your money upfront, giving you total peace of mind and a much steadier bank balance.

• It Grows With You: Unlike a fixed bank loan with a rigid limit, factoring is flexible. The more you sell and the more you invoice, the more funding becomes available. It’s the perfect companion for a business that’s scaling fast and needs its cash flow to keep up.

• Personal Admin Team: Think of the factoring company as your outsourced accounts department. They handle the awkward phone calls and emails to chase up payments, saving you hours of boring admin time every week.

Who is it for?

If your business sells to other companies on credit terms, invoice factoring finance could be your new best friend. It’s a lifesaver for industries where long payment cycles are the norm, such as:

• Manufacturing & Wholesale
• Staffing & Recruitment
• Logistics & Transport

Invoice Factoring is also an amazing fit for companies that are growing fast. If you need to buy more stock or hire staff to keep up with demand, you can’t afford to wait months for cash to arrive. It gives you that stability without the need to take on traditional bank debt.

Things to Keep in Mind

Because the factoring company handles the collections, they will be interacting directly with your customers. Now, we know your client relationships are precious. 

That’s why we only work with reputable invoice factoring service providers who are professional, polite, and discreet. Most clients actually find that having a professional credit control team involved makes the whole transaction feel more “official” and organised.
