Invoice finance (also known as invoice financing or receivables financing) allows businesses to borrow against the value of their unpaid invoices.
Instead of waiting 30, 60 or 90 days to be paid, you can access a large percentage of the invoice value upfront through an invoice finance loan. Once your customer pays, the remaining balance is released to you, minus the agreed fees.
Many invoice financing companies structure facilities as flexible invoice loans or invoice funding solutions that grow alongside your sales.
Invoice finance works particularly well for B2B businesses (those that regularly invoice other companies) and for any UK business that wants to strengthen its working capital position without taking on a traditional bank loan.
There are two main types of invoice finance facilities available.
With invoice factoring, the finance provider advances funds against your invoices and manages the credit control process, including collecting payment from your customers.
This option is often suited to:
Invoice factoring for small business owners can free up both cash flow and valuable administrative time that comes with chasing payments. As your business grows, your facility grows with it, so the funding always keeps pace with your invoicing.
Invoice discounting allows you to access funds against your invoices while keeping full control of your sales ledger and customer relationships.
This option is often used by:
Many invoice discounting arrangements are structured as confidential invoice finance, meaning your customers won’t know you’re using a finance facility.
You can access funds as soon as invoices are issued instead of waiting weeks for payment.
Your invoice funding grows as your sales increase, making business invoice finance a scalable solution.
Unlike traditional borrowing, invoice finance is typically secured against receivables rather than property or assets.
Businesses across the UK often use invoice financing facilities to cover wages, VAT, supplier payments or invest in growth opportunities.
Many invoice financing companies offer solutions designed specifically for small business owners who may find traditional loans harder to secure, with eligibility based on the strength of your invoices rather than credit history alone.
If your business also requires additional working capital support, you may want to explore working capital finance or business cash advance options alongside your invoice finance facility.

Yes. Invoice factoring is commonly used by small businesses that want to improve cash flow and outsource credit control. It can be a practical alternative to traditional invoice loans.
Invoice discounting allows you to retain control of your sales ledger, while invoice factoring includes credit control. Both are forms of invoice funding and receivables financing.
With confidential invoice finance, your customers are unaware that you’re using an invoice finance facility. You continue to collect payments as normal, making it a discreet option for established businesses.
