Engineering businesses often carry high fixed costs, specialist machinery and long lead times on contracts, while customers take their time to pay.
Invoice finance for engineering companies unlocks the cash tied up in your unpaid invoices, so materials, machinery upkeep and payroll don't have to wait on a customer's payment run.
Materials, specialist labour and equipment costs keep increasing, squeezing margins on every contract.
Winning new contracts is good news until you're funding materials and labour for the next job before you've been paid for the last one.
Larger clients often set the payment terms, and 60 or 90 days is not unusual.
Without enough reserves, one delayed payment can knock the whole business off balance.
Breakdowns rarely happen at a convenient time, and downtime costs more than the repair bill alone.
We compare invoice finance providers across the market who understand engineering contracts and specialist equipment, so you get a facility that fits your business, not a generic one.
We arrange your finance so you can stay focused on the workshop or the site.
We place you with the right funder first time, rather than you comparing lenders yourself.
We negotiate rates across our funder panel that are typically better than going direct to one lender.
Funds can be released the same day against your invoices, keeping materials and payroll funded.
Can be better value than an overdraft or loan, particularly on long lead-time contracts.
Easy to use online systems mean funding follows your invoicing without extra admin.
Your facility grows as your contract book grows, so bigger projects don't mean a cash flow gap.
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Not with a confidential facility, where collections and administration remain invisible to your customer.
Often less than expected, especially set against the cost of delaying materials or machinery repairs while waiting for a client to pay.
A good funder handles collections professionally, in a way that protects the relationships you've built, not one that risks them.
Typically none beyond the invoices themselves, so your machinery and other assets stay exactly where they belong.
Whatever your engineering discipline and however long you've been trading, if you invoice other businesses and wait weeks or months to be paid, invoice finance can give your business fast, flexible and secure access to the working capital it needs to grow.
