Invoice Factoring

Turn unpaid invoices into working capital

At GIFCO, we know that waiting 30, 60, or even 90 days for invoices to be paid can create real strain on your cashflow. Invoice factoring gives you fast access to the cash tied up in those invoices by advancing up to 85–90% of their value within just 24–48 hours.

The key difference with factoring is that the finance provider manages collections for you—chasing payments and handling your sales ledger directly. This frees up your time, reduces administrative pressure, and provides the working capital you need to cover payroll, manage day-to-day operations, or invest in growth.

When your customer pays, the provider deducts their service fee and releases the remaining balance back to you.

How Invoice Factoring Works

You raise and issue an invoice as usual

The invoice is submitted to the finance provider

Within 24–48 hours, up to 90% of the value is advanced to you.

The provider manages collections directly with your customer.

Once the invoice is paid, the balance (minus fees) is returned to you.

Service fees typically range between 0.75% and 2.5%, covering credit control, collections, and administration

Invoice Factoring VS Invoice Discounting

Both factoring and discounting unlock cash from invoices, but the difference is in control and visibility:

Factoring: the provider handles collections, and your customers know finance is in place.

Discounting: you manage collections, and customers remain unaware.

If you prefer a hands-off approach with less admin, factoring is often the better fit. If you value confidentiality and control, discounting may suit you more.
