Accelerate Cashflow Locally with Business Invoice Financing
Small and medium enterprises often hit a brick wall when unpaid invoices tie up working capital. You need cash, and fast. Enter business invoice financing: a savvy way to borrow against invoices and keep operations humming. Traditional routes like Kriya from Allica Bank offer speed, but come with high minimums and hidden fees. What if you could tap into local investors who share your community spirit?
Our peer-to-business lending platform does just that. It pairs SMEs directly with individuals keen to back local firms, offering clear fees, flexible funding and tax-free returns via an Innovative Finance ISA.

Why Traditional Invoice Financing Falls Short
Kriya and Allica Bank have built a solid name. Yet many SMEs find themselves sidelined.
- High entry barriers: Minimum facility often starts at £100,000. Too steep for newer ventures.
- Hidden fees: Origination charges, service fees, administration costs. They pop up after you sign.
- Limited flexibility: You pay even when you don't draw down. No on-demand funding.
- One-size-fits-all: Big bank processes don't always suit niche trades or regional businesses.
You want a solution that grows with you, not a rigid package that leaves you shuffling paperwork.
Comparing Kriya & Allica Bank's Invoice Finance
Kriya, fully owned by Allica Bank, boasts:
- Up to 90% upfront advances
- Funds in as little as 24 hours
- Draw-down speed of 12 hours
- Flexible pay-as-you-go model
Strong points, for sure. But the fine print can sting. Their minimum facility of £100k means you need sizeable invoices. Smaller businesses miss out. And those fee schedules? Not always transparent until you're deep into the agreement.
How Peer-to-Business Lending Bridges the Gap
Imagine a platform where:
- Facility sizes start at £10,000, scaling up to £5 million
- Fees are shown up front, with no surprise charges
- Investors from your region back your growth
- Educational resources guide you every step
That's peer-to-business invoice financing. It cuts out unnecessary bureaucracy. You upload an invoice, investors review it, and you get up to 90% in as little as 24 hours. When your client pays, the remainder lands in your account, minus a single, agreed fee.
