Invoice Finance explained

Invoice finance lets you release cash tied up in unpaid customer invoices immediately, rather than waiting 30-90 days for payment. A finance provider advances up to 90% of the invoice value within 24 hours, then collects the full payment from your customer.

How invoice finance works

You raise invoices to your customers as normal. Instead of waiting for payment, you submit the invoices to your finance provider, who advances up to 90% of the value within 24 hours. When your customer pays, the provider releases the remaining balance minus their fee.

Invoice Finance options in Leeds

Invoice Factoring

The provider manages credit control and collects from your customers directly. You get funding plus outsourced collections.

Invoice Discounting

Confidential — you maintain customer relationships and collect payments yourself. Customers are unaware of the arrangement.

Selective Invoice Finance

Choose which invoices to finance, one at a time. No long-term commitment. Higher per-invoice cost but maximum flexibility.

Representative example

Borrow £100,000 at 1.5% over per invoice. Total repayable: ~£101,500. Your rate depends on your circumstances.

Invoice Finance in Leeds: frequently asked questions

Is invoice finance available for Leeds businesses?
Yes. Invoice finance is available to any UK business that invoices other businesses (B2B). Your Leeds location has no impact on eligibility — what matters is the creditworthiness of your customers and the quality of your invoices.
How much does invoice finance cost in Leeds?
Typically 0.5-3% of invoice value as a service charge, plus interest on drawn funds at 1-3% above base rate. Total costs depend on facility size, industry, and customer credit quality. The cost is the same regardless of your Leeds location.
Can startup businesses in Leeds use invoice finance?
Some providers accept businesses from 3-6 months of trading. The quality and creditworthiness of your customers matters more than your own trading history. Leeds startups with blue-chip or public sector clients have the best chances.
Will my Leeds customers know I use invoice finance?
Not if you choose invoice discounting, which is fully confidential. With factoring, your customers will know because the provider collects payments directly. Both options are widely accepted in business.
What types of invoices can be financed?
B2B invoices for goods or services already delivered. Consumer invoices, pre-delivery invoices, and invoices with retention clauses may not be eligible. Most Leeds businesses trading B2B can access invoice finance.
How does invoice factoring differ from discounting?
Factoring includes outsourced credit control — the provider chases payments for you. Discounting is confidential — you collect payments yourself. Factoring suits businesses with limited admin resources. Discounting suits established businesses wanting to keep customer relationships private.
What is selective invoice finance?
Selective invoice finance lets you choose individual invoices to finance on a one-off basis, without committing to a whole-ledger facility. Rates are higher per invoice (1-3.5%) but there are no long-term contracts or minimum commitments.
How quickly can I get funded?
Once set up, individual invoices are typically funded within 24 hours of submission. Initial setup of the facility takes 1-2 weeks including due diligence on your customers. After that, funding is ongoing and automatic.
