We do the heavy lifting. Cashbook Finance supports two clear funding needs. Invoice finance releases cash tied up in unpaid B2B invoices, while bridging finance provides short-term property-backed funding for purchases, refinancing, refurbishment and time-sensitive transactions. Your client gets a direct, commercial assessment; you stay informed throughout and are paid on completion. ### Good for your client. Good for you. #### What your client gains - **Drawdown after setup** An eligible approved invoice can typically release up to 90%, subject to the agreed facility. - **Funding that scales with sales** More invoicing, more headroom - no re-application. - **No monthly repayments** Customers' payments settle the advances. - **Often viable with no property to pledge** Built on the debtor book, not bricks and mortar. - **Optional credit control & bad-debt protection** Take the admin and the risk off their plate. #### What you gain - **20% of Cashbook Finance’s net income received on completion** The basis and payment terms are confirmed in writing for the referral. - **You keep the relationship** Your client deals with a named director, not a call centre. - **You arrive with the answer** Exactly when the overdraft talk starts. - **Almost no work** A few lines is enough - we assess fit. - **Marketing support** An introducer pack plus a client-ready handout. ### Match the funding problem to the right solution. #### Invoice finance Convert completed B2B sales into working capital at the pace the business needs. Eligible invoices release cash early, helping fund payroll, suppliers and growth without waiting for customer payment terms to expire. - Advance up to 90% of eligible invoices - Funding can grow with the sales ledger - Selective, disclosed and confidential routes - Optional credit control and bad-debt protection #### Bridging finance Move quickly on a property-led opportunity with short-term funding structured around the asset, the transaction and the exit. Suitable for acquisitions, refinances and refurbishments where timing matters and the repayment route is clear. - First- and second-charge structures considered - Buy-to-let, unoccupied residential investment, commercial and land security - Initial fit review, followed by valuation, legal work and evidence-led completion - Exit by sale, refinance or another evidenced route Free introducer resource ### Explain invoice finance with confidence.

Best-fit sectors: recruitment, healthcare, haulage & logistics, wholesale & distribution, manufacturing, exporters, printing & packaging and professional services. Construction is fundable but specialist - refer for review, never rule out. **One screening question does most of the work:** "Do you invoice other businesses - and then wait to be paid?" ### Three simple steps. #### Spot it Hear one of the trigger phrases in a conversation you're already having? Think Cashbook. Listen for "can we extend the overdraft?", "we've just won a big contract", "payroll week is always tight", "the bank said no - not enough security", or "we're juggling the VAT and the suppliers". #### Introduce Email or call a director with the client, sector, rough turnover, who they invoice, payment terms and reason for funding. There is no obligation for you or the client. A few lines is enough #### We take it from there A quick, honest initial view on fit, followed by due diligence, documentation and any required verification. Drawdown timing starts only after the facility is approved and set up. You are kept informed throughout and commission is paid on completion. ### Answers to the common questions. **Isn't invoice finance for struggling businesses?** Quite the opposite - it's growth finance. Funders want healthy ledgers, and fast-growing firms are the heaviest users, because growth is exactly when the cash gap bites hardest. **Isn't it just an expensive loan?** It's structurally different: no lump sum and no monthly repayments. The client's sales create the funding; their customers' payments settle it. On cost, it's typically dearer than secured bank debt - the honest comparison is like-for-like, including the value of any credit control. **Will my client's customers find out?** Invoice discounting is usually confidential - customers see no change. Disclosed factoring is also routine: large customers process Notices of Assignment every day. **Are they too small?** Facilities run from single-invoice level upwards - typically suiting businesses with £50k+ annual turnover and 6+ months trading. Selective funding is a low-commitment way to start. **What if a customer doesn't pay?** Standard facilities are "with recourse" - if an invoice is still unpaid after an agreed period (commonly ~90–120 days past due), the advance on that invoice reverses. Optional [bad-debt protection](https://www.cashbookfinance.co.uk/bad-debt-protection) adds cover if a customer becomes insolvent. **What about construction clients?** Fundable, but specialist - applications for payment, retentions and contract terms need the right product. Refer for specialist review rather than ruling it out. **How and when is commission paid?** You earn 20% of Cashbook Finance’s net income received on completion, subject to the written introducer terms agreed for the referral. You are kept informed throughout. **Do I need regulatory authorisation to refer?** A straightforward commercial introduction may not require separate authorisation from the FCA, but the position depends on the activity, client and product. Introducers should confirm their own regulatory and professional obligations before referring business. **What information do you need to make a referral?** Just a few lines: the client's name, sector, rough turnover, who they invoice, their typical payment terms, and what prompted the conversation. We'll come back quickly with an honest view on fit. **Can I refer clients who need other funding?** Our focus is invoice finance, but if a client also needs short-term bridging secured on property, we're happy to review that too - so you can bring us the cash-flow conversation in whatever form it arises. ### What we look at before a case goes anywhere. Published criteria, so you can qualify a case before you introduce it. These are the factors that shape structure and pricing, not a quote and not a guarantee of availability. #### Invoice finance Against raised, unconditional B2B invoices. Up to 90% of an eligible approved invoice, typically released 24–48 hours after the facility is set up. Facility sizes £10k–£1m. #### Bridging finance Short-term and secured on business or investment property - commonly 3 to 24 months, repaid on sale or refinance. Assessed around security, LTV, valuation, costs and a credible exit route. #### Trade and timesheet finance Trade finance against a confirmed order where supplier cost and customer repayment cycle can be assessed together. Timesheet finance for recruiters funding placements between payroll and client payment. #### What to send with a case For receivables: debtor ledger, ageing, sample invoices and terms. For property: purchase or refinance details, value evidence, charge position, requested amount, exit route and any legal deadline. #### What usually stalls a case Conditional or pre-delivery invoicing, heavy concentration in one debtor, unresolved disputes, and property cases where the exit route is not evidenced. #### What the introduction pays A defined 20% of net income received on funded introductions, subject to terms. You keep the client relationship; we handle the funding conversation. Submitting a case #### One conversation is the whole ask. Send the headline facts and we target an initial fit response within one working day. Terms, facility setup and drawdown are separate stages, and timing depends on evidence, due diligence, valuation and legal work.
