The brand is synonymous with stability, innovation, and a customer-first approach, making it a preferred partner for businesses.

Understanding Invoice Finance

Invoice finance is a powerful tool designed to enhance business liquidity and manage cash flow effectively. It allows businesses to unlock the value tied up in unpaid invoices by providing early access to up to 90% of the invoice value. This innovative financial solution comes in two main forms: Invoice Factoring and Invoice Discounting.

• Invoice Factoring is ideal for businesses looking for comprehensive support. It not only provides funding but can also assist with sales ledger management and credit control processes, allowing businesses to focus on growth while Lloyds Commercial Finance handles the administrative burden.

• Invoice Discounting suits businesses that prefer to manage their own sales ledger and credit control. It’s a confidential service that funds the entire sales ledger, with the funding amount growing in tandem with the business’s sales.

Empowering Businesses with Cash Flow Solutions

Lloyds Invoice Finance solutions are tailored to help businesses access money quickly, thereby strengthening cash flow and supporting growth ambitions. Eligible businesses selling on credit terms can apply, with a minimum turnover requirement set for each service. The bank offers flexible solutions, including funding for both UK and overseas debt in various currencies, and optional credit control support.

How It Works:

1. Supply: Goods or services are delivered, and an invoice is issued to the customer.
2. Invoice: Lloyds advances up to 90% of the invoice value, typically within 24 hours.
3. Funding: The funds can be used to support day-to-day operations or growth initiatives.
4. Complete: Once the customer pays the full invoice value, the remaining balance is received, minus any applicable fees

With over 50 years of experience, Lloyds is a leading provider of Invoice Financing in the UK, offering a seamless online platform for easy management and planning with confidence in cash flow.
