Invoice finance
Real-world scenarios where invoice finance solves cash flow problems
Three situations we see constantly, a recruitment agency, a manufacturer and a professional services firm, and how the facility is structured for each.

Invoice finance isn't theoretical. Three examples of how it works in practice.
A recruitment agency
Contractors are paid weekly; clients pay on 60-day terms. That mismatch is the whole business problem. Invoice finance funds the wage bill immediately against invoices already raised, so the agency can keep placing without waiting to be reimbursed.
A manufacturing company
A large order needs materials bought upfront, months before the customer pays. Invoice finance releases working capital against the existing ledger so the order can be taken rather than turned down.
A professional services firm
Long client payment timelines, and relationships too valuable to risk with aggressive chasing. Confidential invoice discounting stabilises cash flow while collections stay entirely in the firm's hands, so no client ever knows a lender is involved.
