What is Invoice Discounting?
Invoice Discounting allows you to finance your sales ledger on an ongoing basis and release funds against unpaid invoices. It can help you to manage cash flow, so you can plan ahead with confidence and invest in staff, materials and equipment, while you’re waiting for customers to pay.
It’s a confidential service, so your customers won’t know that you are using it- and you’ll continue to manage your own credit control processes.
