Benefits of Invoice Receivables Finance

What does Receivables Finance Cost?

Costs of Invoice Discounting and Factoring consist of a service, interest on the discounted amount and an administration fee for each invoice issued, plus an additional amount if bad debt protection is required.

A typical breakdown of costs would be a service fee between 0.5%-1% plus interest at base rate plus 2.5%

In many cases the savings gained by outsourcing management of your debtor book can reduce the true cost to near zero.
