How Selective Invoice Finance Works
Selective Invoice Finance allows professional services firms to choose specific unpaid invoices and use them to get immediate cash from a finance provider. The firm receives around 70%-90% of the invoice value upfront. Once the client pays, the remaining balance (minus fees) is given to the firm. This provides fast access to funds needed for ongoing operations.
Costs and Considerations
It offers flexibility because firms only finance the invoices they choose, with no long-term contracts. This helps manage cash flow gaps caused by long payment terms and large projects, and firms maintain control over which clients or invoices to finance. It also means less paperwork and faster approval than traditional loans.
Costs and Considerations
Fees are usually 1-5% of the invoice value or a small fixed charge. While more flexible, selective invoice finance may have higher costs per invoice than whole-ledger solutions. The service is especially helpful during periods of growth or when facing large client invoices, but relies on the creditworthiness of the client for approval.
