Invoice Finance (or Invoice Factoring) is a form of cash flow finance where a business can draw down funds against its outstanding invoices or its receivables. Contract Finance on the other hand allows businesses to draw down funds against its future recurring revenues based on invoices that are scheduled to be issued against a signed contract or sales agreement.
Examples of such contracts include:
So, if your business offers a service (such as marketing, consulting, IT software and solutions etc) and receives regular recurring payments from your customers, then Contract Finance could be a beneficial cash flow tool for your business. Rather than waiting to be paid each month over the course of your contract, you could bring forward these payments by up to 6 months and deploy funds where your business needs it most. You could invest in more R&D, new projects, take on larger jobs, or perhaps spend on marketing activities.
