Classic Underwriting Invoice Finance

Criteria for Factoring & Invoice Discounting

 

The Criteria, Underwriting and Principles are fine.

 

There are over 30 Invoice Finance companies. Almost have different attitudes.

 

You MUST only speak with a Broker/Advisor that is very experienced and actually worked for an Invoice Finance company and/or Associated. 

 

Also, check that the Broker/Advisor is just not a Salesman!

If you want to relieve cash flow pressures, access funds tied up in invoices and free your time from chasing late payments, then Invoice Factoring can help. Unlike a traditional bank we are a little more flexible and able to help if:

Invoice Finance allow goods and/or services to any other business

  • Factoring companies allow customers credit terms of between 30 and 90 days

  • You provide goods and/or services to any other business

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF FEE:

  • Service Fee
    This covers the day-to-day running of the sales ledger (usually between 0.5 per cent and 3.0 per cent of the funds advanced). On average approx 1.00% to 1.20%)
  • Interest
    This is charged on the monies advanced to you about 3 or 4 above the Bank Interest Rate .

 

Invoice Discounting 

Free up the capital in your unpaid invoices

Invoice Discounting allows SME businesses to release cash against outstanding customer invoices. It differs from Invoice Factoring because you retain the responsibility for collecting payments from your customers. For many of our clients, this is important so they can maintain existing relationships with key customers.

Interest Fee is similar to above. However,  the Service Fee is much less.

Delegate Comment

" Just a quick note to thank you very much for an interesting and informative Course last week. You excel as a lecturer and have the wit, knowledge, experience and charisma to make what could have been a fairly dry subject, topical and relevant to your audience. I confess that before the course started I was concerned that the week might have been a long one. However, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and learnt a great deal. The fact that you could educate a load of jaded folk  and hold their attention in such a comprehensive and entertaining fashion is testament to your skills".

" Life Coacher, Roger, was so great! Real empathy, positive, serious and firm with a delicate demeanour and with humour. He loves to listen   ...   and  loves to talk too! He knows exactly what to say and his advice was right. In the end I feel like he is a friend and so confidential. He has charm. He was very open, honest and accessible with his personal and career issues. I was refreshed and positive!" 

JT, Client 2017    

 

"" The One Day  Course for   'Wellbeing SME People' was ... very emotionsl, insightful, cautioning, and with some amusement. I have started to change my health, life and methods.  Roger had been in the wars but has a great psyche. He was very honest with shocks and has better thankful times"
