53% Recommend Invoice Finance For New Startups
Finance for new startups can be tough to find. Often a new business will not have any assets to offer as security to a bank for an overdraft or loan, and many financiers won't deal with new startup businesses as the survival rate is lower than for an established business. According to the Office for National Statistics, the UK 1-year failure rate for businesses started in 2020 was 10.5%. That's 1 in 10 failing in the first year.
How Financing Invoices Is An Option For New Businesses
However, there are other options. Invoice finance is available to new startups, even with no previous track record and no other assets (not from all invoice finance companies but there are many that will fund startups). The finance is provided against the unpaid sales invoices of the new business, so as sales are made and invoices are raised, so more finance is released. In this way, the level of funding grows with the business.
