Types of Invoice Financing Solutions
Strategie Investment provides three key types of invoice financing so you can choose the one that best suits your business requirements:
Selective Invoice Discounting
Got an invoice that just won’t clear? Spot financing with selective invoice discounting allows you to borrow against your chosen invoices. Strategie Investment enables you to retain control of your processes while enjoying immediate funds, keeping your customers unaware of third-party involvement. Simply invoice your customer as usual, share a copy with us, and receive up to 90% of the invoice value. When your customer pays, you settle with us – a straightforward process.
Suitable for:
- Businesses with significant invoices seeking immediate access to funds.
- Firms navigating seasonal cycles that need to maintain consistent year-round cash flow.
- Companies not inclined to borrow against their entire invoice ledger.
- Any business desiring flexibility to borrow against individual invoices.
Confidential Invoice Discounting
Borrow against outstanding invoices without your customers being aware through confidential invoice discounting. This invoice financing option sets up an ongoing credit facility with Strategie Investment, enabling you to borrow up to an agreed rate when you need it most. Borrow up to 90% of an invoice as soon as it’s issued, maintaining cash flow even when customers are slow to pay.
Suitable for:
- Businesses looking to enhance cash flow before an invoice is paid.
- Businesses that want to retain control of internal processes and would prefer their customers don’t know about third-party involvement.
- Firms prioritising the preservation of customer relationships, like entertainment, PR and marketing.
Invoice Factoring
Businesses that don’t want the fuss of chasing invoices, invoice factoring is for you. The lender manages invoice collections, agreeing to buy outstanding invoices up to a specified percentage. Let’s say , a provider buys 85% of $8,000 worth of invoices, you’ll receive an immediate cash payment of $6,800. Fees are deducted for arranging the loan, and the factoring company handles invoice chasing, with the final 15% paid when the invoice is settled.
Strategie Investment prides itself on handling collections professionally and sensitively to preserve your customer relationships.
Suitable for:
- Business owners who don’t have the time to chase payments.
- Agency owners who need to spend their valuable time on sales, delivery & marketing.
- Firms benefiting from support from a specialised invoice finance manager.
How Invoice Finance Works
Once you’re working with an invoice finance partner, the process will look like this:
- You issue an invoice to your customer as normal.
- You’ll receive a percentage of up to 90% of the invoice total from Strategie Investment (typically within a couple of days).
- When the customer pays the invoice, the payment is made into an account operated by the lender.
- The lender then sends the remainder due to you, minus fees
- Or, you receive the full invoice amount from your client, and repay the amount borrowed from the finance provider (plus fees).
Depending on the form of invoice finance you choose, your customer doesn’t have to know that there is a lender involved.
Costs Involved in Invoice Finance
As with any business loan, there is a cost involved when borrowing money. Invoice financing costs are proportional to the services you require from your lender.
If you opt for selective invoice financing (SIF), you’ll have a service fee taken from the total invoice amount. If you go for the full suite Invoice Factoring service – the fee will be more as you’re delegating the chasing of invoices to your partner.
At Strategie Investment, we provide personalised proposals with clear breakdowns of the fees and repayments required before you sign, so you have complete clarity over your loan terms.
How Much Can I Borrow Through Invoice Finance?
Strategie Investment typically offers up to 90% of the value of commercial invoices so you can immediately grow your business. We’ll look at your whole sales ledger across a year to assess how much finance we can offer, meaning the amount will be based on typical sales performance rather than individual invoice amount.

Invoice Finance Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of using invoice finance?
Improved cash flow, fewer payment delays, and more effective operational expense management are some of the advantages of using invoice financing. It also helps businesses take on new projects and growth opportunities without worrying about cash flow gaps. Additionally, invoice finance can be quicker and easier to obtain compared to traditional loans.
Who can benefit from invoice finance?
Invoice finance is ideal for businesses that deal with long payment terms or have cash flow issues due to delayed payments. It is particularly beneficial for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), startups, and businesses in growth phases that need immediate cash to manage their operations effectively.
Can a small business use invoice finance?
Yes! Countless small businesses face the same issues when it comes to clients not paying their invoices on time, meanwhile expenses are rolling out of the door. It’s not that you’re not profitable, it’s just that your cash flow is drying up. Selective invoice financing is a great solution, read more on how selective invoice financing can help small businesses in our blog.
What is the difference between invoice discounting and invoice factoring?
Invoice discounting and invoice factoring are both forms of invoice finance, but they differ in how they operate. Invoice discounting allows businesses to borrow against the value of their unpaid invoices while retaining control of their sales ledger and customer relationships. In contrast, invoice factoring involves selling your invoices to a finance provider who then manages the sales ledger and collects payments directly from your customers.
How quickly can I get funds through invoice finance?
Once your application is approved and your invoices are verified, you can receive funds within 24 to 48 hours. This quick turnaround helps you manage cash flow more effectively and keep your business running smoothly.
Can invoice finance help improve my business credit score?
Yes, using invoice finance can help improve your business credit score by ensuring timely payments to your suppliers and creditors. By maintaining a healthy cash flow and meeting your financial obligations on time, you can build a stronger credit profile for your business.
What happens if my customer doesn’t pay the invoice?
If your customer doesn’t pay the invoice, the terms of your agreement with the invoice finance provider will determine the next steps. Some providers offer non-recourse invoice finance, where the risk of non-payment is assumed by the provider. At Strategie Investment, we offer flexible solutions and will work with you to find the best approach for managing such situations.
Why should I choose Strategie Investment for my invoice finance needs?
Strategie Investment offers tailored invoice finance solutions, competitive rates, flexible terms and dedicated support with a trusted partnership. By choosing Strategie Investment, you’re choosing a reliable partner committed to helping your business thrive.
