How Startup Invoice Finance Can Fund A New Company
53% Recommend Invoice Finance To Fund New Startups
The way startup invoice finance works is that:
- You receive a percentage e.g. 85% against new sales invoices, raised on credit terms, as you raise them.
- The balance, less a small charge for using the service, is paid when the customer pays.
- If you are raising several invoices, you receive that advance against all of those invoices (subject to a few eligibility criteria), so the amount of money financed can grow considerably, and in line with your growing turnover.
- You can also benefit from having an invoice finance company help you with your credit control.
This can give you a working capital injection that you can use to fund your business day-to-day.
Alternatively, if you are worried that your sales may be sporadic, you can choose a selective facility, with no minimums, where you pick and choose which invoices to get funded.
Example
So with a few invoices outstanding that totalled, for example, £5,000 you could receive say £4,250 immediately to use to pay creditors etc. (there are no limitations on what you can use the money for). As you raise more invoices you will receive more funding as your outstanding sales ledger grows.
What Does It Cost?
Funding against your whole sales ledger can be accessed for an affordable fee (see details of how the costs work). However, you can avoid paying the cost for the whole year if you choose a selective facility that allows you to pick and choose the invoices that you get funded.
