Invoice financing is a lending product allowing companies to plug a gap in cash flow as a result of waiting for an outstanding invoice to be paid. If you offer customers or clients trade or business credit, whereby they purchase goods now and pay later – occasionally with interest – you may not be able to fund the restocking of goods or materials. This is where invoice financing is valuable.
There are two types of invoice financing; factoring and discounting.

Invoice factoring is when a company sells its unpaid invoices to a third party company at a discounted rate. The third-party company then manages the credit control on their behalf, liaising with the clients for outstanding payments. This is done in order to satisfy any immediate cash flow requirements by receiving advances on payments from a customer or client.
Invoice discounting is a similar process usually applied to companies of a larger nature whereby they remain in control of collecting outstanding payments from customers or clients. Invoice discounting is a short-term solution to keeping control of sales providing funds whilst a business is awaiting invoices to be paid.
