FAQs
-
How long does it take to put invoice financing in place?
It can take as little as 2 weeks to set up, but on average it works out at around 3-6 weeks. Your Relationship Manager will help advise you on likely timescales.
-
What happens if an invoice is not paid?
If an invoice is not paid within the agreed period (typically 90-120 days) then you would repay us directly. Alternatively, you can apply Bad Debt Protection which provides protection against insolvency and protracted default.
