Invoice discounters are in the cash flow industry. Invoice discounting is fast becoming the accepted and preferred alternative to a bank overdraft. The benefits for any business are all about improved cash flow and the many uses that extra cash can be put to. But there are many more benefits which should not be overlooked.
The biggest difference between invoice factoring and invoice discounting is that the discounting service is completely confidential. Your customers will not know that you are using the service and you remain in control while also receiving all the benefits below.
Invoice discounting is increasingly seen as the better alternative to a bank overdraft. It is much more flexible, does not require constant upward negotiation and is not normally re-payable on demand - a major worry for many businesses.
Immediate cash advances to ease your cash flow problems.
No more cash flow headaches or dreaded calls to the bank.
Online access to credit ratings allows you to trade confidently with new customers.
A borrowing facility which rises automatically as your sales increase ensuring future growth is not restricted.
With better cash flow comes increased bargaining power with suppliers and the potential for prompt payment discounts (more than covering the cost of the service). Conversely, there will be less need to concede discounts to your customers. A double bonus.
Bad debt protection means you get paid within 120 days of the invoice date if your customer becomes insolvent. You also avoid the policy administration/claims procedures associated with traditional credit insurance.
Most invoice factoring companies only require a charge over your debtors and a warranty from the directors whereas a bank will take a full debenture plus directors guarantees thus tying up all the company's and directors assets.
