  Which Factoring Companies Will Fund Startups?

  There is plenty of miscommunication going on around the industry. We were recently contacted by a newly formed startup company that had spoken to a few factoring companies and had been told that they needed around half a year's trading behind them in order to secure invoice finance.

  This may be the case for some factoring companies, but there are others that will happily accept new startup companies that have no trading history at all. Is is a case of knowing who to speak to.

  This prospect had not traded at all, but they were planning to deal with some good quality debtors, transacting a significant amount of turnover each month in the office equipment and consumables sector. They also wanted to secure bad debt protection, sensible for a new company, which will protect them in the event that a debtor should fail.

  Despite it being a new start venture, we immediately were able to introduce them to several well known, substantial invoice funding companies that are happy to accept new start companies. It would be an understatement to say that the customer was pleased to have a number of options placed on the table, after initially thinking that they were going to be rejected for invoice finance completely.

  Our key skill at FundInvoice is keeping abreast of who will offer what within the sector, so that we can use that knowledge to match customers with funding partners from our large panel of financiers.
