Invoice factoring can play a crucial part in a number of company functions including improving cash flow and paying key suppliers. Invoice financing consists of using future promises of payment from invoices to secure capital from third parties by using them as a guarantee of payment.

Allowing companies a fast and simple line of finance, it is useful in securing capital should a company face difficulty in receiving payment from a client for their invoice and provides another way to improve cash flow without involving banking institutions. In this option, invoices are essentially used as collateral against which capital is secured from a third party.

Worldwide Financing Group’s analysts evaluate our client companies’ operations and prospective cash flow, and study the viability of this option. We work together with the company to help increase the inflows of cash and capital, whilst seeking to develop a long-term strategy to increase the liquidity of our client.
