Factoring and recruitment
Invoice Finance and Factoring is becoming ever more prevalent a part of UK business practices for small and medium (SME) businesses, as they have found it increasingly difficult to access funds - for effective cash flow management and expansion - from traditional lenders, such as the high street banks, since 2008.
With the economy getting back on its feet from the deep blows of the recession, recruitment is also starting to see growth return and many recruitment businesses are seeking to capitalise on this and gear up for growth in 2015.
As many small to medium sized businesses find, there is often a gap in the cash flow position from accounts payable to outgoings, especially at times when you need it most, such as periods of high growth. The best position to be in is to have a facility in place so that when you need a cash flow injection then you know you have the ability to access working capital without the need to firstly find a suitable finance partner, then go through their checks and process to enable a facility to become active.
As the economy further revives going into 2015 many recruitment businesses will be looking to capitalise on opportunities for organic growth and the possibilities of achieving an increase in profitable client accounts. More accounts means an increase business costs with increased staffing and overheads, so how do you close the gap until your invoices clear?
