Types of Invoice Discounting

Confidential Invoice Discounting

With confidential invoice discounting, your customers remain unaware you’re using finance. Businesses collect payments as normal while improving cash flow behind the scenes.

Confidential Invoice Discounting

Confidential invoice discounting is usually aimed at established SMEs with strong turnover and robust accounts. The facility provides £100,000 to £5,000,000 as a rolling credit line, with rates from 1.5% to 3% over base. Approval typically takes between 2 and 7 days. This discreet option lets businesses manage cash flow or business expansion without customer involvement and works well for manufacturing, wholesale, and services sectors.

Disclosed Invoice Discounting

Disclosed invoice discounting means customers are informed of the finance agreement, and they make payments directly to the lender, giving full transparency.

Disclosed Invoice Discounting

Disclosed arrangements suit businesses with transparent financial controls and healthy credit records willing to inform customers. Typical amounts range from £50,000 to £2,000,000, at 2% to 4% over base with a rolling facility. Approvals can take 1 to 2 weeks. This type supports firms managing seasonal fluctuations or growth, and is common in logistics, construction, and import/export sectors, where cash flow stability is essential.

Selective Invoice Discounting

Select specific invoices for funding, rather than your whole sales ledger. This choice provides added financial control and cost reduction.

Selective Invoice Discounting

Selective invoice discounting allows businesses to finance individual invoices. Amounts start at £10,000 per invoice, up to £1,000,000, with flexible repayment terms. Interest rates range from 3% to 6% over base, and approvals are quick, usually within 48 hours to one week. This method is particularly suitable for projects or clients in sectors such as tech, consulting, or agencies, offering maximum flexibility.
