What Are The Main Benefits Of These Products

Construction finance provides you with:

Finance against uncertified or certified applications for payment, outstanding sales invoices or vesting certificates for materials.
Credit Control Support - (if you want it) which helps to collect your customer payments. This can be "confidential" i.e. carried out in the name of your business so that your customers are unaware that you are using it.
Selective or Whole Turnover Options - you can finance particular transactions you select, or finance all your turnover to maximise the amount of funding.
Confidentiality - (is available in many cases) so that your customers are unaware that you are using the service.

How Does Construction Finance Work?

This specialist form of finance is only offered by certain companies that specialise in helping this sector. It works as follows:

The finance company provides you with a prepayment, on the day you submit them (in some cases).
This can be against uncertified applications for payment when they are raised, staged invoices or sales invoices.
A 70% prepayment against a £100K sales ledger could release up to £70K of funding.
This immediate cash injection can be used for any purpose including paying for workers or materials.
When customers pay, the balance (minus charges) is passed to you.
As you raise new applications for payment or invoices, more cash prepayments are made to you.
In this way, the funding grows as your sales ledger grows.

Options

You don't have to finance all your transactions. You can just select some individual transactions to finance without any obligation to finance more.
Funding of up to 25% of the total contract value can be made against signed-off vesting certificates in respect of materials held on-site or off-site (for future project phases).
The finance company can provide credit control support, if required, in the name of your business.
You can also have optional bad debt protection against customers becoming insolvent.

Barriers To Funding That Are Overcome

The financiers can fund even where there are:

Complex contracts or contractual debts including JCT contracts, DOM, NEC3 or bespoke contracts.
Project-based transactions even with deposits paid and staged payments (interim payments during the project).
Retentions - payments that are held back following the completion of a project until some future sign-off is completed.
Extended payment terms.
Liquidated damages, performance clauses or termination clauses.
Variations of up to 10% of the contract value.

How Does Funding Against Uncertified Applications For Payment Work

The prepayments level is set by the funder, typically up to 70% (but can be as high as 100% less the funder's fee), and is made against the net value of the applications for payment i.e. excluding:

Deductions (if appropriate)
Self-bill VAT
Retentions
Main contractor's discount (or other discounts)
CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) tax

This type of funding can still release substantial amounts of cash for any purpose, including paying workers and materials.

The Benefits

You can:

Receive funding, on the day you raise and submit uncertified applications for payment (or invoices).
Settle your wage bills, and labour costs or pay your suppliers for raw materials before you get paid by the main contractor or your customer.
Enjoy full confidentiality (if required - subject to criteria) so your customers don't know you are receiving funding.
Improve your cash flow enabling you to negotiate better terms for the supply of raw materials.
Avoid raising capital in ways that will dilute your ownership of your businesses. You retain full ownership.
Avoid having to give your house as security to a bank for a loan.
Take on bigger jobs without worrying about when you will get paid so you can enter the tendering process with confidence.
Leverage the expertise of specialist funders with experience in your sector and access quantity surveyors (QS) / recovery specialists who can help ensure you get paid.
Enjoy electronic access to your account.
Optional bad debt protection against your customer failing to pay is provided by specialists within the sector.
