An unpaid invoice has value. It’s a debt your customer has agreed to pay in the near future. At any one time you’ll have a number of unpaid invoices on your sales ledger. This means your sales ledger has value. So factoring companies will buy or advance the value of your outstanding sales ledger for a fee, often within 24 hours, rather than you waiting 30, 60, 90 days or longer for payment on the product or service you’ve already delivered.

Invoice Discounting

A variation of Factoring is Invoice Discounting which means you retain the credit control function and management of your sales ledger. A confidential facility can be offered so that the arrangement remains confidential between your business and us and you are responsible for the maintenance of the sales ledger.
