Invoice Finance can potentially provide so much more. As we know a factoring and invoice discounting facility will release up to 85% of a businesses unpaid invoices. In the very difficult period of obtaining cash flow from the banks it is important that a business obtains as much benefit from their invoice finance facility as possible. Obtaining stocking finance on the back of an invoice finance facility might provide your business with the additional working capital required to make the difference between success and failure. Not all stocking facilities are the same and XL Business finance has over 10 years experience in helping businesses find the right funding solutions.
At the moment there are no finance companies providing stand alone stocking facilities. Any stock finance is provided on the back of a factoring or invoice discounting facility. However beware there are only one or two funders that provide a true revolving stocking facility. Most invoice discounting companies suggest they provide finance against stock however what they actually do is provide a further advance up to 100% of the debtor book using the stock as the additional security. In addition they claw back the overpayment over a 12 month period for example. A true revolving stocking facility will provide a percentage of the total stock in addition to the agreed prepayment against the debtor book.
