Single Invoice Finance (SIF) is a working capital facility which allows you raise finance for your business against individual unpaid invoices.  Unlike traditional Invoice Discounting facilities, to avail of SIF, the business does not have to sell its entire sales ledger book.  Through an SIF facility, you can access funds as and when your business requires an injection of cash by using the facility on an invoice to invoice basis.

What are the advantages of Single Invoice Finance?

  • Improved cash flow for the business – fast access to cash that is tied up in unpaid invoices
  • Fast Access to Cash – once the facility approved you request funding against specific invoices and get your cash payment within 24 hours
  • Flexible funding – facility allows you to pick and chose what invoices are funded through the facility to match the specific cash flow requirements of your business
  • Cost Effective – fees only apply when facility is used,
