Supercharge Your Cashflow with Invoice Backed Lending
Small and medium enterprises often find themselves stuck waiting 30, 60 or even 90 days to get paid. That gap can stall projects, strain relationships and hold growth hostage. Enter invoice backed lending—an agile way to turn unpaid invoices into ready cash fast. No more watching your hard-earned revenue pile up. Instead you tap into a pool of local investors keen to back your business. It's a win–win.
Our peer-to-business lending platform brings transparency, speed and community impact together. Through our Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA) feature, investors enjoy tax-free returns while your business gets the funds it needs—usually within days, not weeks.

Why Traditional Working Capital Solutions Fall Short
Large banks and corporate lenders have long been the default for receivables finance and invoice discounting. They offer:
- Confidential Invoice Discounting: Advance up to 90% of approved invoices, but usually with strict turnover thresholds.
- Selective Receivables Finance: Off-balance-sheet funding on a handful of debtors, bound by complex jurisdictional rules.
- Overdrafts: Easy to set up, yet often pricey if you dip into unarranged or over-limit borrowing.
- Asset-Based Lending: Borrow against inventory or machinery—great for some, but not all SMEs fit the collateral mould.
All solid tools. Yet they can be time-consuming to arrange. Fees mount. Minimum turnovers exclude many growing businesses. And you may need to juggle multiple products just to cover day-to-day gaps.
The Rise of Invoice Backed Lending in Peer-to-Business Platforms
Invoice backed lending flips the script. You upload your approved invoices and tap a network of private and institutional investors. Here's why it shines:
- Speed: Decisions in 24–48 hours, funds in your account fast.
- Flexibility: Finance the exact invoices you choose, in the amounts you need.
- Scalability: As you grow, you automatically unlock higher funding levels.
- Local Focus: Investors often live in your region, meaning funds stay in the community.
- Transparency: Real-time dashboards show rates, fees and repayment schedules.
Compared to traditional corporate offerings, our peer-to-business platform cuts out layers of bureaucracy and hidden costs. You deal directly with your financing partner. And investors benefit from clear risk assessments powered by AI-driven credit scoring.

Comparing Barclays and Traditional Banks with Peer-to-Business Lending
Barclays and other big institutions excel at providing large-scale working capital solutions. Their reputations and global reach are hard to match. But for many SMEs:
- Minimum turnover thresholds (often £6.5 million) shut the door.
- Standard terms and long application processes slow you down.
- Hidden fees and rate fluctuations can erode margins.
- Off-balance-sheet options still tie you to complex accounting rules.
Our peer-to-business lending platform addresses these gaps:
- No turnover minimum. Start with a single invoice.
- Fast approvals in under 48 hours.
- Transparent, flat-fee structures.
- Direct relationships, not hidden banking agreements.
In short, traditional banks may suit large corporates; we specialise in nimble, SME-friendly invoice backed lending.
