Invoice discounting, much like invoice factoring, releases funds from your invoices before your client has paid, allowing you to grow and expand your business.
Both terms are talking about the same process, in part.
The funds owed by a client can be released before the client pays, essentially giving you an advance on their payment, if you use invoice factoring or invoice discounting.
This allows you to invest in your business’ growth and it keeps your funds steadily coming in as opposed to having to wait for a customer to pay.
Invoice factoring and invoice discounting since the credit crunch have become one of the leading ways that businesses can find working capital finance for their companies, as heavier restrictions on unsecured loans have been in place since the financial crash.
For banks and private companies, this is a much safer way to lend companies money, as the invoice acts as collateral for the advance payments.
Many banks and companies are now moving onto this model which they feel is a much safer way to lend money.
This is where we arrange invoice financing with you confidentially; confidential invoice discounting.
This means that neither your suppliers or customers will know that you and your company are receiving advances on the invoices you generate for your customers before they pay them.
When we look at providing invoice discounting to companies, often we will not look at individual debtors to your company, we will look to protect ourselves from the insolvency of your company and will work with you if you have a wide base of customers.
So, if you have only one or two customers, this may not be the best option for your company. We also state that only a percentage of your sales can be to a single client, this percentage may vary based on your business or whom that client is.
Much like spot discounting, selective invoice discounting is where your company will enable a third party to collect the payments from a single client, getting an advance from the third party of a certain percentage.
Normally, our factoring teams will look at the whole turnover of your company, and collect the entire sales ledger for you, however it can be arranged that only part of the sales ledger of your company is collected in this way.

This is where a company will sell an individual invoice to a third party, or a spot factoring company, or factor.
They will usually sell the invoice at a discount and receive money very quickly into their account not having to wait for the client to pay.
This is often referred to as single invoice factoring, or selective invoice discounting, or spot invoice finance.
Spot factoring companies can release the funds that are tied into an individual invoice which is yet to be paid by the customer, the business will receive a percentage of the invoice from the factoring company before the client even pays the invoice.
If the invoice is particularly large, this will mean a large injection of cash into the business improving the businesses cash flow.
This will in turn enable businesses to keep themselves solvent, paying off their own suppliers at the right time, funding new projects or areas of growth for the business, paying wages or salaries, or buying new products or setting up new offices or venues.
For the flexibility that spot factoring can provide a company, spot factoring companies will often charge high rates and fees. This can be reduced if the company is looking after the collection of the company’s whole ledger.
Sometimes it can take more than one week to become set up properly with the spot factoring company. This means that if your business needs the money before that, you may find it difficult. It is best to keep an eye on these invoices and your company finances so you can plan when and if you will enable a spot factoring company to provide their services for you.
Many businesses build close, friendly relationships with their customers. They may feel that if they enable a spot factoring company to collect on the invoice it may damage that relationship as the spot factoring company will insist on collecting the payment themselves.
Our professional factoring teams are friendly and have your relationship with your customers in mind when collecting these payments for you, if you would like more information on what they can do for you and rates, please feel free to contact them.

A factoring company will buy the accounts receivable from a client, normally at a discount.
These will usually be the accounts of slow paying clients.
This will provide quick cash for a company which can be used to continue to run their business.
The factoring company that has bought the accounts receivable will then collect the invoice payments from the clients of the company.
With invoice factoring, the factoring company will take control of the sales ledger, controlling credit and will chase customers to settle their invoice.
However, with invoice discounting, a business will retain control of the sales ledger and will chase clients for a payment in its usual way.
Getting a loan from a bank can be difficult. Whereas selling your accounts receivable to a factoring company for them to chase the clients for payment can provide quick finance for a company so it can continue to pay its businesses expenses.
Factoring is a type of debtor finance, a financial transaction in which a company sells its invoices (accounts receivable) to a third party, or a factor, usually at a discount.
Businesses will sometimes sell their accounts receivable to a factoring company to meet its immediate and present cash flow requirements.
Spot factoring is where a business will sell a factoring company and individual invoice, or accounts receivable at a discount to get quick capital to continue to run their business.
By using factoring services you can reduce the time that is spent chasing clients, whilst getting quick cash that can be spent on running your business.
Many different industries will use factoring, including freight, trucking and transportation, payroll, staffing, construction, energy, oil and gas, textile, manufacturing, agriculture, business services, government contracting.
Almost any business that sells a service or goods can use factoring receivables.
The process of factoring does not actually affect the client, and so many will think little or nothing of the process. If you are concerned that it will affect your relationship with the client, discuss this with the factoring company. If you feel that you need to explain it to your client, simply explaining that you have decided to outsource your accounts receivable will normally be enough.
No. Businesses of all sizes and shapes will use factoring for many different reasons.
A new business may use factoring as they might have trouble getting a bank loan.
If your business is growing quickly, you may use factoring to get the quick capital to expand or grow into different markets.
In some industries, such as transportation and freight it has actually become the preferred method of financing. It does not usually mean a business is in trouble, although a business may use factoring if they are experiencing an issue with cash flow.
There is not one. Debt factoring is another name for invoice factoring. In this instance, the word debt is referring to the client who owes on the accounts receivable.
Business factoring allows businesses to sell accounts receivable (unpaid invoices) to a third a party, known as a factoring company. The factoring company will buy the accounts receivable at a discount and the move to collect payments on the invoices.
Single invoice discounting, also known as selective invoice discounting, can provide greater flexibility for business because as opposed to selling the entire sales ledger to a factoring company they can choose which invoices they wish to sell to raise money depending on their requirements. It is possible for a factoring company to pay 100% of the value of the invoice.
