Compare ^{Contract Finance} Options For £650k Business Requirements

With Invoice Finance, businesses sell unpaid invoices to a financier, receiving the majority of the invoice value almost immediately. This helps cover payroll, purchase materials, or bridge any cash flow gap during the contract period. Suitable for companies operating for at least six months with creditworthy customers, Invoice Finance is often used by firms facing lengthy project cycles and requiring flexible working capital.

Designed for importers, exporters, or wholesale businesses, Trade Finance provides the capital required to buy goods or cover shipping and import duties. Eligible SMEs need established credit profiles and confirmed orders. Financiers pay suppliers directly or facilitate transactions internationally, which helps manage the timing difference between outgoing payments and inbound customer receipts.

This option is ideal for businesses needing machinery, technology, or equipment for a contract without upfront purchase costs. The finance provider rents the required assets for the contract term, sometimes with an option to buy at the end. It's particularly useful for construction, engineering, or event management firms delivering project-based work.
