HSBC Invoice Finance also allows you to take advantage of more opportunities to improve your business finance – whether you are an SME or larger company.
Running an effective credit control function demands time and resources. That's why so many businesses now choose to outsource sales ledger management through an integrated invoice finance solution. It's cost effective and it works!
If an undisputed and credit protected invoice is unpaid for more than 120 days after its due date, or if your customer's business fails, we pay you any outstanding balance due, up to the set value of the credit protection limit.
Typically, a business operating on trade credit terms might expect to write off the value of 1% of annual turnover – that's £7,500 on a turnover of £750,000. What's more, there are no lengthy claims procedures, plus no legal fees for recovery of credit protected invoices.
If you are already exporting or plan to start exporting to any of the major world markets, our export invoice factoring and export invoice discounting services offer some important advantages.
They work in a similar way as they do for UK sales, providing combinations of finance, efficient collections, transmission and processing of customer payments, and – very importantly – protection from bad debts. Find out more.
