do you need funding for your start up business?
Few industries face as many variables such as the transport and logistics industry. Regardless of the turnover for a business in this area, the priority is to keep their fleet on the road and moving, making sure that driver’s wages, hire purchase, lease payments and fuel bills are all paid on time.
Volatile fuel costs, combined with the variations in exchange rates and an economy struggling to better its import and export ratios, competition from European transport companies make operating a profitable business increasingly difficult. In such a challenging climate, many hauliers are focussed on maintaining an operation that is successful and profitable. Unexpected repairs and keeping up with regulation can turn a small profit in to a loss and have an adverse effect on the company. In order to help ease this, cash flow is important and this is where haulage Factoring can help.

invoice finance with bad debt protection
Some factoring providers will also offer bad debt protection also known as "non-recourse". If one of your customers fails to pay an undisputed debt or becomes insolvent, the invoice finance company will credit you with the amount of the debt up to the approved credit limit, less any agreed excess.
Bad debt protection gives peace of mind as it protects your business against the risks of one or more of your customers failing through insolvency or undisputed debt. It is particularly prudent if you are only trading with one or a handful of customers who you rely on for the majority of your turnover.

What's the difference between factoring and invoice discounting?With factoring, you will choose the lender who will collect the payment from your customers, this works best for small to medium sized businsses. Your customers know that you're using factoring but the factoring company will handle the credit control directly and will neogiate terms with customers. Invoice discounting is more straightforward and is used by large and established businesses. Compared to factoring, you will still have access to credit control but your customer will be unaware that you are borrowing against their invoices. With invoice discounting you can avoid a third party (the invoice financier), allowing you to deal directly with your customers.
