Factoring and Invoice Discounting

Factoring allows you to raise finance based on the value of your outstanding invoices. Growing businesses, in particular, often find that factoring is a more flexible source of working capital than overdrafts or loans.

Factoring also gives you the opportunity to outsource your sales ledger operations and to use more sophisticated credit-rating systems.
