How Does It Work
Invoice Finance provides you with a pre-agreed percentage (up to 85%) of ‘approved’ debts (the value of the invoices). Approved debts are trade debts for goods/services delivered or completed in full, supported by a robust and undisputable paper trail. These are usually for invoices outstanding up to 90 days.
Invoice Finance Works best for companies who:
- Sell on credit to business customers;
- Have a good spread of debtors;
- Growth potential;
- Good credit control.
BIF MIDAS
