What we do

Two complementary solutions.

Different jobs, one direct relationship. Most clients come for one — and it's good to know the other is there when the situation changes.

Cash in 24–48 hoursUp to 90% of each invoice, released as you raise it.
Grows with your salesA revolving line that scales with the ledger — no re-application.
No property requiredSecured mainly on the debtor book, not bricks and mortar.
Extras if you want themFactoring, credit control and bad-debt protection — optional.
Invoice finance

Cash from your ledger

Funding built on the invoices you've already raised — not a lump-sum loan with monthly repayments. Confidential discounting, full factoring, timesheet finance or single invoices.

Bridging finance

Property-backed lending

Short-term loans secured on property — for auctions, chain breaks, refurbishments and development exits. Interest can be rolled up, so there may be nothing to pay monthly.

The funding gap

You can be profitable on paper and still run out of cash.

Most B2B sales are made on credit — 30, 60 or 90-day terms, often paid late. The costs of delivering the work leave long before the cash arrives. Every unpaid invoice is, in effect, an interest-free loan to your customer.

An advance of £45,000 the next working day — the balance follows on collection, less a clear fee.

Invoice finance

Invoice finance, shaped to your business.

We release up to 90% of each invoice within 24–48 hours of it being raised — the balance, minus fees, follows when your customer pays. One family of products, one idea.

Invoice finance

Turn the whole ledger into a revolving funding line that grows with your sales.

Invoice discounting

The same funding, usually confidential — your customers see no change.

Factoring

Funding plus a sales-ledger service — we run credit control and collections.

Timesheet finance

Built for recruitment and payroll-heavy firms: wages weekly, client cash monthly.

Selective / single invoice

Fund only the invoices you choose — no whole-ledger commitment.

Bad-debt protection

Optional cover if a customer becomes insolvent, for an extra fee.

Factoring vs invoice discounting

Both release most of an invoice's value early — the difference is who runs collections.

How it works

From invoice to cash, in four steps.

1

Quick set-up

We review your business, customers and ledger, then agree the advance rate and pricing.

Once — days, not months
2

Invoice as normal

Deliver the work and raise invoices exactly as you do today. They upload or sync in seconds.

Often automatic
3

Cash arrives

Up to 90% of each approved invoice lands in your account.

Within 24–48 hours
4

Customer pays

The balance is released, minus a simple fee — and your headroom refreshes for the next invoice.

Worked example — a £50,000 invoice on 30-day terms
Day 0 — raised
£50,000
You invoice a customer on 30-day terms.
Day 1–2 — advanced (90%)
£45,000
Lands in your account within 24–48 hours.
Day 30 — balance
£4,000
The held-back £5,000 less a ~2% fee, on collection.

Total cost ≈ £1,000 (about 2% of the invoice) for having £45,000 roughly 28 days early — you receive £49,000 in all. The fee is the price of having the cash now, not next month.

All figures illustrative only: a discount charge of around 2% of the invoice value. Actual advance rates and pricing vary by business, sector, customers and facility type.

Bridging finance

Funding at the speed of the property deal.

Short-term loans secured on property — for auctions, chain breaks, refurbishments and opportunities that can't wait for a mortgage. The opportunity is here now; a mortgage isn't.

Auction completion
28 days
The deadline once the hammer falls — and it won't move.
vs
A typical mortgage
8–12+ wks
Application, underwriting and valuation before funds.

Auction purchase

Complete inside the 28-day deadline; refinance follows at leisure.

Chain break

Stop an onward purchase collapsing when a buyer pulls out.

Refurbishment

Fund works a mortgage won't touch yet, then refinance or sell.

Development exit

Bridge expiring development finance to the sale or refinance.

Below-market deal

Move fast on a price that reflects a vendor who needs speed.

Business raise

Release short-term capital against property, with a defined exit.

The honest bit

If it isn't right, we'll say so.

Invoice finance costs more than secured bank debt, and bridging costs more than a mortgage — each only makes sense in the right situation. We'd rather give you a straight answer than a hard sell, even if that means pointing you elsewhere. It fixes timing, not fundamentals.

Invoice finance is built for UK SMEs — small and medium-sized businesses that invoice other companies on credit terms for the goods and services they provide.

Recruitment
