Invoice Discounting
A financial transaction that allows a company to draw down funds against its sales invoices before the customers have actually paid. This is acheived by the company borrowing a percentage (usually 75 - 80%) of its whole sales ledger from a finance company. Invoice discounting services are available in a variety of forms, but in most cases the finance company will have recourse to the seller if the customer does not pay within a specified period.More »
