Any business that uses invoicing to receive payments from customers inevitably reaches a point where the cash flow and the company’s expected turnover have reached two separate figures. Although the expected turnover is normally going to be a high figure, the cash flow amount could be considerably lower due to payments remaining unpaid by debtors. While this has no negative effect on the value of the company, the fact of the matter is that the available cash flow, which is often used to stimulate more business, will not be available until all outstanding invoices have been paid.
This is the point where some companies will feel they have reached an impasse and must simply wait for the payments to be completed before they begin to move forward again. On the other hand, some of the more up to date companies will turn to companies that offer invoice discount schemes.
This can be an essential service for companies that are either just starting out or those that wish to take the next step up the ladder of growth and become that little bit more successful. The term to get into the right mind set is ‘prepayment’ as opposed to repayment. As a business will be paid almost instantly for the services they have provided the financial planning required will be a lot less long term. To give some scope on the amount that a company can expect to be paid in advance for their outstanding invoices, depending on the finance company providing the service they can expect up to 90% of outstanding balances to be made available through a line of rolling credit.
The advantages to having a rolling line of credit are easily evident; once an invoice has been paid and the next one issued, the line of credit becomes refreshed. Considering the small fee that is charged for such a service it would be folly for almost any company to overlook it as a viable option of raising finance. All in all it is very much down to the individual company what the rates and repayment schemes will be like, but in the end a little research can go a long way.
