I've a mate who uses invoice factoring to get his invoices paid. I think he said it generally comes in at less than 5% and his invoices are up to around 250k. I can let you know who he uses if you're really interested.

I've got £20k of outstanding invoices from a few months back, give me £18k and you've got a dealOriginally posted by DimPrawn View PostYou buy companies invoices at up to 90% face value and pay the company quickly. They get their cashflow sorted.
You then invoice the debtor company full invoice value.
You make 10% on every invoice.
