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.

how does purchase order finance work?
Purchase Order Finance works differently to invoice factoring and discounting, as it is secured against the initial purchase order (PO) from your customers instead of their outstanding invoice. The lender that we pair your business will be centred around the size of the order and their credit score.
This method of finance acts as a huge benefit for growing businesses as it focuses on the customers ability to pay for the completed PO instead of your own businesses finances.
When the order has been delivered and the invoice has been raised, you will repay the amount that you borrowed as well as any transaction fees and interest.

Specialist Experience​
​
We will assess the suitability of each lender to make sure it meets the needs of your business and the industry you are in
Better Rates​
​
If you use purchase order finance to secure stock from suppliers, they'll treat you like a cash buyer instead of having to open an additional line of supplier credit. This will attract better rates for you so you can profit off each other.

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.
