Invoice Discounting Access cash from your sales ledger in just 24 hours
Invoice discounting is a great way to improve your business cash flow, especially if you are planning to grow your business. Very simply, Invoice Discounting gives your business an immediate cash flow boost by freeing up cash that is tied up in unpaid invoices. It saves you the frustration of waiting for your customers to pay. You stay in control of the credit control and collection process and even better, your customers don’t know about the facility, as it can be offered on a confidential basis.
How does Invoice Discounting work?
Invoice Discounting is very straightforward. When you raise invoices to customers, you bulk upload the invoices to the funder. Within 24 hours, you can access up to 85% of the invoice value. When your customers settle the invoice (paying into a dedicated trust account in your company name), the remaining value of the invoice (15%), less any agreed charges is available. This happens on a continuous basis.
What are the benefits of Invoice Discounting?
- An instant cash boost. It gives your business the benefit of an immediate cash flow boost.
- Flexible. It’s far more flexible than an overdraft – as funding can increase in line with your turnover.

- It’s cost-effective. With access to cash, you can negotiate better prices, discounts and even reduce bank charges.
- Improve credit limits. By paying suppliers promptly, your suppliers may offer you better credit terms.
How much does it cost?
It can suit financially strong companies with a turnover in excess of €750K per annum, and sound management systems. The fees vary, depending on the funder and the facility you choose. We can explain all the fees and charges to you, to make sure you are fully aware of all the costs involved.
