Compare the net funds released with your immediate cash requirement to ensure the facility bridges the gap without leaving a shortfall. Monitoring cash flow needs is essential for business stability. Visit the cash flow glossary to learn more.
Test Sensitivities
Alter the advance rate or payment days to see how higher rates or slower customers raise fees and lower net proceeds; most UK invoices clear within 30-60 days. This helps you understand how timing impacts costs.
Account for Extras
Remember collection charges, dispute deductions, and minimum service fees that some factors add and which the calculator may not include unless you input them. These extra costs can affect net funds, so confirm details with your lender.
