Flexible finance for your business

Navigate your business growth with targeted financial support. Selective Invoice Finance offers the control you need to manage cash flow effectively without commitment to your entire sales ledger.

How does Selective Invoice Finance work?

With Selective Invoice Finance, you choose which invoices you want to finance. Here's a general overview of the process:

  1. You issue an invoice: You provide goods or services to your customer and issue an invoice with your usual payment terms.
  2. You select invoices to finance: Instead of waiting for your customer to pay, you select specific invoices you'd like to finance. This could be one or a few invoices, depending on your needs.
  3. Funds are advanced: The finance provider will advance a percentage of the invoice value (typically 70-90%) to you within 24-48 hours.
  4. Your customer pays: Your customer pays the invoice directly to the finance provider on the due date.
  5. Remaining funds are paid to you: Once your customer pays, the finance provider pays you the remaining balance of the invoice, minus their fees and the initial advance.
