Invoice discounting is a form of business finance where a business obtains an advance on approved submitted invoices. With invoice discounting, an advance on invoices is paid by the invoice discounter in a similar way to an advance paid by a factoring company.

A fundamental difference, however, is that with invoice discounting, the company retains control over the administration of its sales ledger and book debt collection.

Invoice Discounting is ideal for businesses that want to retain control of their own collections and who already have strong credit control systems in place.
