What are the different types of Selective Invoice Finance for Tradespeople and Contractors?

Spot Factoring

Financing provided on a one-off or selective invoice basis, rather than the whole sales ledger.

Spot Factoring

Spot factoring allows tradespeople and contractors to access cash by selling individual invoices to a finance provider as needed, which provides flexibility and avoids long-term contracts covering the entire ledger.

Single Invoice Discounting

A facility allowing businesses to receive funds against individual invoices, without committing to ongoing agreements.

Single Invoice Discounting

Single invoice discounting lets contractors get paid early on selected invoices by receiving an advance from a lender. It’s useful for managing cash flow on important jobs without handing over all invoices for finance.

Selective Recourse Factoring

Funding specific invoices with the obligation to repay if the customer doesn’t settle the invoice.

Selective Recourse Factoring

Selective recourse factoring gives tradespeople funding for chosen invoices, but requires them to repay the lender if their client fails to pay. This approach reduces costs but increases risk for the contractor or tradesperson.

What Is Selective Invoice Finance?

Selective Invoice Finance lets tradespeople and contractors choose specific invoices to sell to a finance provider for fast cash, instead of factoring all their invoices. This way, they get an immediate advance (usually 70–90% of the invoice value) just for the invoices they choose.

Benefits and Considerations for Tradespeople & Contractors

You pick an invoice, get most of the value paid out quickly, and once your customer pays, you get the rest minus fees. It's based on your customer's ability to pay, not your own credit, so it helps when cash flow is tight or payment terms are long. There's no need for a long-term contract—it's a flexible option you use when needed.

Benefits and Considerations for Tradespeople & Contractors

Benefits include fast access to cash, flexibility, and keeping control of your finances. It's useful for paying suppliers, covering payroll, or funding projects between payments. However, costs per invoice can be higher, admin work is needed, and it works best if your customers are reliable in paying their invoices.
