Invoice factoring is generally a funding facility where the lender manages your accounts receivable and collections. This is beneficial for businesses that don’t have a dedicated accounts department. It enables you to spend more time growing your business with sufficient cash flow rather than chasing payments and accounts management.

With Invoice Finance or Invoice Discounting, you send your invoice details to the lender, but your business retains control over collecting the outstanding invoices. The funding facility is usually strictly confidential. Due to the collections service, factoring fees are generally higher than the fees paid for Invoice Discounting.

There are two main types of invoice factoring: recourse and non-recourse factoring.

In a recourse factoring arrangement, the risk of non-payment of the invoice remains with your business. If your customer cannot pay, you must cover the cost of the financing you received from the factoring company.

With non-recourse factoring, you essentially sell the invoice. Once you have received funding, the factoring company collects the debt. Because of the increased risk, factoring companies generally charge higher fees for non-recourse factoring.

With Yoda Capital Finance, you can mitigate non-payment risk with Bad Debt Protection. This additional service protects your business cash flow in case of customer non-payment.

While traditional business loans and overdrafts typically require real estate collateral, Invoice Finance uses your accounts receivables as security. You can get paid faster for the goods and services you have already sold.

You get an immediate cash advance on your unpaid invoices, with the finance company charging a small percentage as a fee for the facility.

Unlike a traditional business loan, you can be approved for a Debt Factoring or Discounting facility and access a cash advance in as little as 24 hours. There are no fixed monthly repayment terms; you can choose how many invoices you want to submit for financing.

Invoice Financing is more flexible than an unsecured business loan. With an unsecured loan, you receive a lump sum from the lender. Over the term, you repay the loan principal plus interest through regular repayments.

An Invoice Finance facility provides funding access as and when needed. You can fund an invoice when you need a cash flow boost, and the repayment happens automatically when your customer pays the invoice.

Invoice Financing is also more accessible. Most loan providers require a business with a long trading history and a strong credit rating. An Invoice Finance company is more interested in the ability of your customer to pay the invoice. Your receivables provide the security you need to access funding.
