The short answer

What is invoice finance?

Invoice finance lets a business get paid on its invoices straight away, without waiting for customers to pay. A provider such as Team Factors advances up to 90% of each invoice’s value, collects payment from your customer, then pays you the balance, minus fees. Invoice factoring is the most common type.

How it works

How invoice factoring works

Three steps take you from raising an invoice to cash in the bank. We advance money against invoices you’ve already raised, and it’s repaid when your customer pays.

01

You raise an invoice

Do the work, invoice your customer as normal and send us a copy.

02

We pay you up to 90%

The money goes straight into your account, so wages and suppliers get paid on time.

03

Your customer pays, you get the rest

Your customer pays us, and we send you the remaining balance, minus our fees.

Tick what applies to you

Is invoice finance right for your business?

It works best for businesses that sell to other businesses or public bodies and give them time to pay.

It isn’t the right fit if you sell mainly to consumers or take payment upfront.

As a Tech recruitment agency, a good factoring facility is vital for offering both client and contractor a smooth service... making limit increases easy, processing payments when I've missed the cut off.

No. Invoice finance is an advance against invoices you’ve already raised, and it’s repaid when your customer pays. The amount available grows as you invoice more, and there are no fixed monthly repayments.
