Stop waiting 30, 60, or 90 days to get paid. Turn your outstanding B2B invoices into immediate working capital and keep your business moving forward without the "payment lag" stress. Whether you need a one-off advance on a single high-value invoice or a full facility that handles your entire sales ledger, we connect you with over 100 specialist lenders who understand the UK invoice finance market inside out.
As an FCA-authorised broker, we help you navigate the critical differences between Factoring, Discounting, and Selective Invoice Finance — so you choose the right structure for your business.
How UK Businesses Use Invoice Finance
Three powerful ways to turn your unpaid invoices into immediate cash flow.
Selective (Single) Invoice Finance
Need a one-off cash injection? Fund a specific high-value invoice without committing your whole sales ledger to a long-term contract. Ideal for project-based businesses — like construction firms or consultancies — that land occasional large contracts but don't want a full factoring facility running year-round.
Full Invoice Factoring
Let the lender handle your credit control and collections, freeing up your time to focus on growth while receiving up to 90% of your invoice value upfront. This is particularly popular with recruitment agencies, manufacturers, and wholesale distributors who raise high volumes of invoices each month and want the admin handled for them.
Confidential Invoice Discounting
Maintain your existing client relationships and credit control processes in-house. Your customers never need to know you're using finance — everything is handled behind the scenes. This is the preferred option for established businesses that value their brand reputation and don't want their customers contacted by a third party.
What You Need to Know Before Applying
Check the "Recourse" Clause
Always know if your facility is 'Recourse' (you're liable if the client doesn't pay) or 'Non-Recourse' (the lender absorbs the bad debt risk). Non-recourse costs more but offers total peace of mind — essentially acting as credit insurance built into your facility. For businesses trading with new or overseas clients, non-recourse can be worth the premium.
Don't Get "Ledger Locked"
If you only need occasional help, Selective Invoice Finance is your best friend. It's more expensive per-unit, but much cheaper overall than a full annual facility if you only use it two or three times a year. Some providers lock you into minimum volumes or long notice periods — we call this 'Ledger Lock.' Always check exit terms before committing to a full facility.
Use it for Growth, Not Just Survival
Use the immediate cash from a big invoice to buy stock for the next job immediately. It turns your turnover speed into a competitive advantage. The fastest-growing businesses we work with — particularly in construction and manufacturing — use invoice finance not as a lifeline, but as a strategic growth accelerator to take on larger contracts with confidence.

Invoice Finance Scenarios From the SME Finance Hub Desk
Three real examples of how UK businesses have used invoice finance with us — different sectors, different problems, all solved with the same flexible facility type.
First-time facility for a recruitment firm
The business
A 14-month-old IT recruitment agency placing contractors with FTSE 250 clients, turning over £1.6m a year on 60-day payment terms.
What they needed
£180,000 of working capital to fund payroll while waiting for client invoices to settle — a bank overdraft was capped at £25k.
How we structured it
Whole-turnover invoice discounting at 88% advance, confidential to end clients, priced as a service fee plus margin over Bank Rate. No property security needed.
The outcome
Facility live within 11 working days. Payroll pressure removed, and the agency took on three additional contractors the same month they would have otherwise turned away.
Single-debtor concentration with a CCJ on file
The business
A timber wholesaler with one customer accounting for 55% of turnover and a £12k CCJ from a supplier dispute two years ago.
What they needed
£75,000 against a single £90k invoice owed by a national construction firm.
How we structured it
Selective single-invoice finance with a specialist lender comfortable with concentration risk. CCJ context explained in writing up-front; debtor credit-checked separately.
The outcome
Funds in 48 hours at 89% advance. The wholesaler kept their bank overdraft untouched for a separate stock buy.
Selective use for a freight forwarder
The business
An established freight forwarder, £4.2m turnover, using cash reserves for everything but caught short by an unusually large one-off shipment invoice.
What they needed
£240,000 advance against a single export invoice, with no appetite for a permanent ledger facility.
How we structured it
Pay-as-you-go selective invoice finance — no minimum volume, no notice period, drawn against the one invoice only.
The outcome
Drawn in 36 hours, repaid in full when the customer settled six weeks later. Total cost equivalent to ~1.4% of invoice value.
Each business above qualified for materially more cash than a traditional overdraft would have offered, because the facility scales with their sales ledger — not last year's accounts.
