Invoice Finance Services

What is invoice finance?

Invoice finance is an alternative method of funding your business.

It gives a business the chance to access increased levels of working capital; this is provided by releasing money owed to you from your outstanding invoices. This frees up money for you immediately, improving your overall day to day cashflow management, so you can get on with the running of your business.

Invoice finance is essentially a replacement to a business loan or overdraft.

Many business owners are ineligible for the full amount they would need to borrow to cover unpaid invoices. But, if they happen to be accepted for a loan, it also puts physical assets at risk.

With invoice finance, any unpaid invoices are funded by assigning them to Peak, so you can focus on paying your suppliers, workers and other financial obligations on time.

In simple terms, you ‘sell’ your unpaid invoice at a discount. Once your invoice is paid, you will receive the remaining balance, minus our fee.

Here is an example of how invoice finance works in principal:

• You have an outstanding invoice worth £20,000, which you are awaiting payment from your customer
• By choosing invoice finance, you receive an 85% advance on the total, giving you £17,000 up-front
• We then undertake bespoke credit control on your behalf to secure prompt payment
• The customer pays their invoice
• The lender fees are subtracted, for example, 1.5%, which equals £300
• Which leaves a value of £2,700 remaining

Why choose invoice finance?

As a business, ensuring you stay on top of your cash flow is vital. Which is why invoice finance is an effective way of allowing you to have more control over your finances.

Whether you’re a new company, or a well-established business undergoing a restructure, borrowing money through unpaid invoices is a far less risky option to boost your cash flow.

It allows you to continue to grow your sales and your business, without relying on the fast, timely payments of your customers, putting control of your cash flow in your own hands.

Am I eligible?

Eligibility for invoice finance can vary, but typically you need to:

• work business to business, not via consumers
• be a limited company, LLP or sole trader
• have a minimum turnover of £50,000
• offer industry-standard credit terms
