Finance options
We offer solutions which could turn your unpaid sales invoices into available cash. Allowing you to create new funding opportunities to support business growth
Dedicated team
Our Relationship Managers will get to know your business and provide you with a financial package specifically designed to meet your working capital requirements.
Improved cash flow
Unlike traditional banking products, Invoice Finance supports businesses by providing working capital facilities linked to the value of a company's debtor book.
Online access
Our web-based system called Facflow™ allows you to view balances, keep records and request funds online.
How much does it cost?
- A Discount Charge (similar to an interest rate) is levied only on funds used by the customer
- A Service Fee (related to the on-going management of the facility) is typically charged on an annual fixed fee basis and is billed at the end of each month
Features and Benefits
Improve cash flow
We support businesses by providing working capital facilities linked to the value of a company's debtor book. It is an excellent way of providing funding for your company and funds may be available at a higher level than those through conventional banking products.
If your business provides trade credit, Invoice Finance could provide the immediate funding that you need.
A good quality debtor book enables you to release cash from one of your most valuable assets to part-fund an acquisition or to finance ongoing working capital needs.
An Invoice Finance Facility is not just for businesses experiencing cash flow pressures. If you are looking to expand either organically or through acquistion it can help too.
Invoice Finance may facilitate a deal that would otherwise prove impossible, without diluting ownership of your business
Is my business suitable?
Invoice Finance allows your company to raise working capital by converting your trade debts into cash. It is suitable for businesses with a minimum turnover of €1,000,000. Invoice Finance works for companies in a number of industries including manufacturing, wholesale, distribution and also for companies that export
It is a confidential facility and as far as your customers are concerned, everything works just as it did before.
You remain in control of your credit function, however, we do require that you record strong proof of delivery, that you have a good spread of trade debtors and that you maintain good credit control and sales ledgers systems.
You receive up to 85% of the value of invoices once you notify us of them electronically using our FacFlow™ system.
Invoice Finance can provide a significant cash injection to your business which can be used to fund working capital requirements.
When your debtor pays the invoice and the amount is remitted to us in full, the 15% balance (less our charges) is paid to you.
Invoice Finance is suitable if you are a large business, trading domestically or internationally, with a minimum annual turnover of €10 million, we will be happy to discuss how Invoice Finance can help with your working capital requirements.
