What is Invoice Financing?

Invoice financing, also known as invoice factoring or accounts receivable financing, is a financial solution that allows businesses to convert their unpaid invoices into immediate cash. Instead of waiting 30-90 days for customer payments, you can access funds within 24-48 hours.

This financing method is particularly beneficial for businesses with long payment cycles, seasonal fluctuations, or those looking to accelerate growth without being constrained by outstanding receivables. It provides immediate working capital while reducing collection risks and administrative burden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common queries about invoice financing and factoring solutions

In invoice factoring, you sell your invoices to the factor who takes over collections and customer relationships. In invoice discounting, you borrow against invoice value while retaining control of collections and maintaining direct customer relationships. Factoring is more hands-off while discounting gives you more control.

Once your facility is approved and invoices are verified, funds can be released within 24-48 hours. For first-time applications, the setup process may take 3-5 working days including documentation and customer verification.

Typically, you can get 70-85% of invoice value as advance, depending on customer creditworthiness, invoice terms, and your business profile. The remaining amount is released after customer payment, minus financing charges and fees.

In invoice factoring, customers are notified as payments are redirected to the factor. In confidential invoice discounting, customers are not informed and continue paying you directly. The choice depends on your preference and customer relationship considerations.

In non-recourse factoring, the factor bears the credit risk. In recourse factoring or discounting, you may need to buy back the invoice or provide alternative invoices. Credit insurance can provide additional protection against customer defaults.

Yes, with selective invoice financing, you can choose specific invoices based on your cash flow needs. However, whole turnover facilities may require you to finance all eligible invoices to approved customers.

B2B businesses with creditworthy customers, long payment cycles (30-90 days), and growth opportunities benefit most. This includes manufacturers, distributors, IT services, construction contractors, and exporters with strong sales but cash flow challenges.

While rates may appear higher, invoice financing offers unique benefits like immediate cash flow, risk transfer, and no collateral requirements. When considering the total cost including opportunity cost of delayed payments and collection expenses, it's often competitive.
