A Fresh Take on Invoice Backed Lending

Small firms often feel stuck. You've got unpaid invoices on your ledger but no cash in the bank. Traditional banks demand mountains of paperwork, high interest and endless waiting. That's exactly where invoice backed lending can turn things around. Our peer-to-business platform brings speed, clarity and community support right to your doorstep.

We connect local investors directly with SMEs, cutting out the red tape. You get funding against your unpaid invoices. Investors earn fair returns. Everyone wins. Empowering Local Growth: invoice backed lending on our Peer-to-Business Platform

Understanding Invoice Backed Lending

Invoice backed lending is a form of asset financing. You pledge unpaid invoices as collateral. Lenders advance up to 90 per cent of the invoice value. When your customers pay, you get the remaining balance minus a small fee. Pretty neat. No more cash-flow headaches. No need to wait 30, 60 or 90 days for money to arrive.

Here's the simple flow:

An SME raises an invoice.
The platform verifies it.
You receive an advance (usually 80–90 per cent).
Your client pays their invoice.
You get the final balance, less fees.

This model differs from traditional asset-based lending where you need a large balance sheet, property or machinery. With invoice backed lending, it's just your invoices that matter.

Benefits for SMEs

Invoice backed lending brings a bunch of advantages:

Instant cash flow
No more waiting for customers. Keep projects moving.
Flexible funding
Finance grows as your sales ledger grows.
Minimal paperwork
All you need are your invoices.
No new debt obligations
It's secured against receivables, not personal guarantees.
Transparent fees
What you see is what you pay.

With steady cash flow, you can pay suppliers on time, invest in marketing and recruit that extra pair of hands you've been eyeing. It's growth made easy.

Benefits for Investors

If you're an investor seeking invoice backed lending opportunities, you'll like what you see:

How Our Platform Compares to Traditional ABL

When you look at established lenders like Arbuthnot Commercial Asset Based Lending, you'll notice their focus on larger facilities:

Facilities from £1m to £35m
Invoice discounting, stock finance, machinery loans
Property-backed deals
Daily credit committees for speed

That's impressive for mid-market corporates. But what if you run an SME with a £50k sales ledger? Or you're keen to invest ethically at a smaller scale? Traditional ABL often requires:

High minimum commitments
Detailed valuations (up to 180 days for property)
Complex covenants
Limited IFISA options

Our peer-to-business platform solves these issues:

Low entry point: fund invoices from £5k
Quick approvals: AI-driven credit scoring
IFISA eligibility: tax-free returns for investors
Community focus: support neighbours and local jobs

You get the best of both worlds: robust asset financing with small-business accessibility.
