Whether you are
closing down one business and looking to finance another, possibly as
part of a pre-pack administration or liquidation, or if you want to
realise the assets such as invoices to create cash flows, then invoice
discounting may be for you.
Invoice Discounting Explained
For many small businesses
seeking to raise instant funds for working capital, Invoice Discounting
may be the answer. It is similar to factoring in its aims but very different
in practice. There are two types available, called Confidential and
Disclosed. As their names suggest, with Confidential the customers are
unaware of the Discounter’s involvement, whereas where it is Disclosed
they are. The invoice discounting procedure, in brief, is as follows:
• Client sends customer’s invoices for work completed
• Client sends day sales ledger to Discounter
• Discounter pays up to 85% of invoice values to client
• Client collects payment from customer and banks these into
a designated account
• Discounter collects funds from account and releases the 15%
balance still retained less his charges.
For many new businesses there will be an existing ledger available and
the Discounter will be able to release those funds which qualify to
the client.
Invoice Discounting Costs
Invoice discounting
costs consist usually of a service fee which can be between 0.1% and
1% of turnover. The Cost of money which is the interest charge over
base for the advanced money is a second charge. In addition there will
also, in a majority of cases, be a minimum annual charge.
