Young Business, limited finance?
Setting up a new business can be demanding enough without the extra headache of not having sufficient cashflow for your business. When a business is at an early stage of its development, not having sufficient cash available can pose a serious strain on the business and can represent an obstacle to continued success.
Businesses are likely to experience their steepest growth curve while they are young. Because of that, demands on your cash flow are particularly strong while your business is in that phase of its development.
However, traditional funding (such as bank overdrafts and loans) is often too inflexible to cope with the needs of your young and growing business. The need to renegotiate as limits are quickly exceeded can be cumbersome, can tie up time, and often attracts additional costs and fees.
Our factoring product can help! The factoring facility grows in line with your sales, and you don't usually need to use personal assets as security.
How does it work?
With our factoring product, you will receive advances of funds against outstanding sales invoices. You inform us electronically or by post that you have issued an invoice. Up to 90% of the value of your invoices can be paid out within 24 hours of raising them. The balance is made available when your customers settle their outstanding debts.
Our factoring service can also provide credit management, releasing valuable time for your business. Having agreed procedures with you, statements and reminder notices would be sent to customers reminding them of outstanding debts. You will remain in control of your customer relationships at all times.
