Invoice finance has become one of the most popular cash-flow solutions for UK businesses releasing cash against unpaid invoices. Whether you're a fast-growing SME, a recruitment agency managing weekly payroll, or a business needing predictable working capital, choosing the right provider can significantly affect your growth and your margins.
The UK market
Thirteen providers dominate UK invoice finance, among them eCapital, Time Finance and Sonovate. Each is built for a different kind of business: some specialise in recruitment and weekly payroll, some in construction with its applications and retentions, others in straightforward confidential discounting for established firms with their own credit control.
No single provider is best for everyone. The right one depends on your sector, your debtor profile, the facility size, and whether you want collections handled for you or kept in-house.
Why use an independent broker?
A broker compares multiple lenders, negotiates terms, and produces competitive offers rather than relying on whatever a single provider quotes. That matters most where appetite varies, a lender who is uncompetitive for your sector may be excellent for another, and there is no way to know that from the outside.
