Export finance, Invoice discounting or Export factoring work in a similar way to traditional factoring or invoice discounting. Businesses are able to raise cash against unpaid overseas invoices.
Up to 80% of your unpaid invoices can be released up front to provide you with the working capital and freedom to run and grow your business. The remaining 20% is paid to you when your customer pays your invoice. The finance company will pay the remaining 20% to you less a small handling charge.
