  85 Percent Of Construction Businesses Would Benefit From Immediate Payments Against Uncertified Applications For Payment

  The construction sector is an area that several invoice finance companies now fund and we have successfully assisted many construction sector businesses find funding. To better understand the construction finance sector we have just completed a survey of 100 randomly selected businesses within the construction sector. I will publish the answers to a variety of the questions asked on this blog over the coming weeks.

  One of the key issues within the construction sector is that in many cases businesses do not raise invoices for payment but they present applications for payment to their customers against which the payments are received. Traditionally this would have been a problem for invoice finance companies as they fund against invoices but there are now options for construction businesses to receive funding against applications for payment rather than invoices and these can even be funded if they are uncertified, or not yet approved.

  So to gauge the level of demand for funding against uncertified applications for payment we asked: "Would your business benefit from receiving immediate funding against applications for payment which haven't yet been approved?". The result was that 85% of respondents (that raised applications for payment i.e. 75% of all respondents) said that they would benefit from receiving funding against such applications for payment a clear demand for these niche funding services for the construction sector.
