Factoring & Invoice Discounting

When running any business, cash flow is a prime consideration.

A business without access to cash can become severely restricted in its operations and, in extreme cases, insolvent. A major factor affecting the availability of cash is the speed with which your clients pay your invoices.

One solution may be to look at some form of factoring or invoice discounting to free up the cash flow. In the past many companies have shied away from using the services of such companies, mainly out of fear of the administration involved or having their customers upset by overenthusiastic debt chasing.

The majority of Companies who offer this service today however are highly professional and well aware of these past problems. Factoring or Invoice Discounting today is a valuable tool to help businesses grow or to get through difficult times. Many factoring companies now offer an Internet service whereby the client company can check the invoice debt situation and thereby funds availability on a daily basis.

Factoring services can be applied to many areas of commerce. One that is often overlooked is in the area of Local Authority Invoicing. Care Homes, Teaching establishments and dispensing surgeries among others can all suffer from delays in having invoices paid by their local authority.
