What is invoice discounting?

Invoice discounting is a facility provided by a credit/finance company that allows business owners to access their funds quickly by leveraging on businesses' sales invoices.

For example, if you have $1500 worth of invoices, you can choose to sell these invoices to the credit/finance company that offers the invoice discounting solution. In return, you will get $1350 immediately after selling your invoices, deducting any interest or fee applied.

The idea of invoice discounting is that rather than waiting for 30 days, 40 days, or even 60 days to get paid by your customers, businesses can gain immediate funds via third party finance company using this solution.

With the funds available on hand, you can use it to clear debts, pay your bills and employees, or maybe, reinvest the funds in your business long-term investment plan.

Sounds like a perfect solution for your business?
