Invoice Discounting

Unlock the value of your invoices

Invoice discounting allows businesses to release cash tied up in unpaid invoices without waiting weeks – or months – for customers to settle their accounts. By advancing a percentage of the invoice value (typically 70–90%), a lender provides immediate working capital, helping you manage cash flow, fund day-to-day operations, or invest in growth.

With invoice discounting, you retain full responsibility for your sales ledger and customer relationships. Your clients remain unaware of the facility – often referred to as confidential invoice discounting – while you maintain control over collections and service. Once the invoice is paid, the lender deducts their fees and returns the remaining balance to you.

How Invoice Discounting Works

Invoice discounting vs invoice factoring

Both facilities release cash against outstanding invoices, but there is a key distinction:

Invoice discounting

Invoice discounting keeps the process confidential - you manage your ledger, and customers are unaware of the arrangement.

Invoice factoring

Invoice factoring involves the lender managing collections on your behalf, meaning customers may know that finance is in place.
