A factoring facility allows you to convert your debtors ledger to cash immediately, then forget about them, allowing you to focus on growing your business. Also known as Cashflow Finance, Invoice Factoring and Invoice Discounting, invoice finance provides an alternative to the traditional bank overdraft.
You will be able to borrow up to 80% of the value of your invoices on an ongoing basis, usually while retaining any existing banking facilities that you may have.
You submit your invoices to us for funding then we look after the collections for you. We send out account statements and follow up overdues.
The remaining 20% of the invoice value is made available when the debtor pays.
You will no longer need to beg your customers for precious cash flow before being able to make the next move.

If you have single invoices that you would like that you can’t wait to be paid for send them to us for immediate payment now. You do not need to commit to an ongoing finance facility, just send the invoice to us for payment today. Use the facility as and when you need to with no ongoing obligation to you.
Any existing funding facilities and securities you have can remain in place. As we are are purchasing an individual invoice not providing an ongoing loan we are happy to ‘sit behind’ and bank GSA’s or other security given over your business.
As our security is the invoice, not your company, an in depth credit review is not required, we will be happy to lend to start up businesses and you do not need to own any property or other assets.

We pay up to 90% of the value of your debtors ledger immediately and the remaining 10% is paid to you when your Customer pays.

Invoice financing, or invoice factoring, is an option that is growing exponentially worldwide and is still relatively new in New Zealand. Invoice factoring is a financial transaction whereby a business sells all or a portion of its accounts receivable (invoices) to a third party (called a factor) at a discount, in exchange for immediate money with which to finance continued business.
The NZ invoice factoring market is currently at $1billion and growing, while in Australia is it has been valued at $78 billion.

More than 97% of NZ businesses fall into the SME category and they employ 30% of our country’s workforce. So whether they thrive or fail has a big impact on our economy.
In Australia, businesses are waiting nearly eight weeks to be paid by other companies, with the average invoice payment time rising to 55 days for the first quarter 2013. In New Zealand, it currently stands at 43 days – still too long for those needing to pay staff and with their own suppliers demanding payment on 20th of the month terms.
Increasing payment terms and delays are pushing the limits for many small businesses which depend on incoming cashflow to pay their own suppliers and staff on time. Indeed, surveys show that more than 70 per cent of small businesses expect cash flow to be an issue to their operations.
Many debt financing options for SMEs can be restrictive with prohibitive terms or finance rates, as those who have had to provide guarantees against their personal assets can attest.
If you are dealing with other businesses on credit terms and invoicing for completed work or services you will likely qualify for invoice finance. In most cases your debtors will need to be made aware of the invoice finance relationship. This is not generally a bad thing as most companies are already dealing with invoice finance companies as it gains in popularity. Some Clients may, however, qualify for our undisclosed invoice finance product. This product is entirely undisclosed to your customers.

In most cases we will be happy to fund start ups using invoice finance. Our security is in the debtor that we are funding so trading history as not as important as for other products. With our single invoice finance facilities it is entirely up to you which customers you fund and which you do not. In most cases we would prefer that if you are funding some invoices for a single debtor that you will fund all of them to prevent any confusion. If you wish to stop funding a particular debtor just allow it to repay.
