Invoice finance is a type of business finance that allows businesses access to funds from the invoices they've issued to their clients. Instead of waiting for their customers to pay, they can access the funds upfront. Invoice finance is different to term business loans as there are no regular loan repayments for the borrower to keep on top of; the finance is paid back when the borrower's customer pays their invoice.
There are many different loan options for a small business (and even medium and large businesses), and the best type will depend entirely on the business's financial situation and needs. The first decision is generally whether you'd like to utilise equity finance or debt finance (learn more about equity vs debt financing. At Earlypay, we specialise in equipment finance (finance options for businesses to purchase assets and equipment), and invoice finance (a business line of credit extended based on the value of the accounts receivable ledger). If you're unsure of which finance option is right for your business, please seek professional advice. Feel free to give us a call to discuss.
With invoice finance, the invoices you've issued to your customers form the basis of the security asset for the finance. Generally speaking, this means property security is not required. This may come as a relief to property owners who do not wish to put their family home on the line.
For personal advice relating to your business circumstances, you'll need to speak to your accountant or financial adviser, but generally, interest, upfront and ongoing fees paid on borrowed money (for business purposes) will be tax deductible.
Just like an existing business, if a start-up business satisfies our lending criteria, then yes, they may be eligible for invoice finance!

Invoice finance works differently from other types of business financing. Funds are drawn down based on the value of the accounts receivable ledger. For example, if a business has $100,000 of invoices outstanding, let's say they've chosen to draw down $50,000 for extra cash to invest in stock. When their customers pay the money owing on their invoices ($100,000), the cash goes to Earlypay to repay the finance, and the remaining funds are released to the business owner.
