When invoice finance may fit
Invoice finance may be relevant where an IT business invoices other businesses and waits for customer payment after work has been delivered or an agreed service period has completed.
Managed service contracts, support retainers and project work can be reviewed differently depending on billing, cancellation rights and evidence of delivery.
What lenders may review
Lenders may review debtor ageing, contract terms, customer concentration, recurring revenue, disputes, deferred income, credit notes and bank conduct.
If invoices include future service periods, the lender may need to understand whether the debt is fully earned.
Useful documents
Useful documents include aged debtors, sample invoices, service agreements, statements of work, accounts, management figures and recent bank statements.
How Jolt makes the next step easier
You do not need to know the perfect lender at the first step. Jolt looks at the funding purpose, timing, documents and likely route, then helps shape the enquiry around lender appetite.
Start with the amount, what the money is for and how quickly it is needed. If the route is not obvious, the enquiry can still be reviewed without turning this page into another form.
