Types of business finance Glasgow
Invoice Factoring – Invoice factoring is a finance facility provided by an invoice factoring company in Glasgow to help business owners leverage their unpaid invoices, giving them an instant cash injection into the business.
On payment of the invoice from their customers the lender will release the final amount minus any fees and charges. The invoice finance lender can release up to 90% of a business’s invoices straight away.
Invoice Discounting – Invoice discounting is an invoice finance facility when a company’s unpaid invoices are used as collateral for a loan. Invoice discounting companies enable businesses to leverage the value of their sales ledger.
With an invoice discounting company, when sending out invoices to customers a proportion of the total amount becomes available from the lender, which provides your business with a source of working capital throughout the month while you wait for the payment of your invoice to be processed.
Business Loans – Business loans are very common and one of the first options for businesses looking to raise finance. The lender provides money that you, as the borrower, pay back, with interest, over an agreed period. This type of funding is secured or un-secured.
