Stage 3: Working capital & debt

Invoice financing & factoring

Quick answer

Invoice financing advances you cash against invoices your customers have yet to pay, so it suits B2B businesses that wait 30 to 90 days to get paid.

Best suited for

B2B suppliers and contractors with creditworthy customers and long payment terms.

Pros

  • Unlocks cash tied up in unpaid invoices
  • Often based on your customers’ strength, not only yours
  • Can scale with your sales

Cons

  • Only works if you invoice other businesses
  • Fees can add up if customers pay late
  • Some structures notify your customers, which not everyone likes

Watch out for

Ask whether it is recourse or non-recourse, who the customer is told, and what happens if an invoice is disputed.
