Manufacturers pay for raw materials and production costs upfront, then extend credit to customers who may take 30, 60 or 90 days to pay. That mismatch can strain even a profitable business.
Invoice finance for manufacturers releases the cash tied up in your unpaid invoices, so you can keep production running, pay suppliers and take on bigger orders with confidence.
Energy, materials and labour costs keep increasing, putting pressure on production margins.
Landing a large order is good news until you're funding raw materials and production before you've been paid for the last batch.
Larger customers often dictate payment terms, and late payment is common across the sector.
Overstocking or producing ahead of demand ties up cash that could otherwise be working for the business.
Shifting supply chains, input costs and demand patterns make cash flow harder to forecast.
We compare invoice finance providers who understand manufacturing cycles, from raw materials through to finished goods, so your facility works with your production timeline, not against it.
We arrange your finance so you can stay focused on the production, not the paperwork.
We place you with the right funder first time, rather than you comparing the market yourself.
Our relationships across the funder panel mean we can negotiate rates that are typically better than going direct.
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 as order volumes grow.
Easy to use online systems mean funding follows your invoicing without extra admin.
Your facility grows in line with your sales ledger, so bigger orders don't mean a cash flow crisis.
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Not with a confidential facility such as invoice discounting, which keeps collections invisible to your customer.
Often more cost effective than assumed, particularly against the cost of turning down orders because materials can't be funded upfront.
A good funder handles collections professionally, in a way that protects the relationships you've built, not one that risks them.
Usually none beyond your invoices, so machinery, premises and stock aren't required as security.
Whatever you manufacture and however long you've been trading, if you invoice other businesses and wait weeks to be paid, invoice finance can give your business fast, flexible and secure access to the working capital it needs to grow.
