If you are losing $1,000s in business because of a lack of business cash flow, then invoice finance is the solution for you
Australian small and medium-sized businesses often find themselves faced with wonderful market place opportunities but may have difficulty growing or expanding their business due to the strict lending criteria of the banks or when cash flow is tied up in unpaid invoices. An excellent alternative solution is invoice finance, also known as debtor finance.
Contrary to popular belief that debtor finance or invoice financing is used by companies in financial trouble, it can help businesses use its sales as leverage to generate the capital demanded by rapid growth and provides a steady and flexible source of funds. It is a process to grow your business. Invoice financing is a highly effective way of increasing your working capital significantly by converting your trade debtors (sales invoices) into cash.
