Selective Invoice Financing
Need quick cash by “selling” specific invoices to us? Selective Invoice Financing can help!
You get most of the invoice amount upfront, and once the customer pays, you get the remaining amount, minus our fees.
What is Selective Invoice Financing
Selective Invoice Financing is a funding solutions that turns outstanding invoices into growth capital for the business.
Winning new business on credit terms is a good problem to have — until it isn’t. Every invoice on 30, 60, or 90-day terms is money you’ve earned but cannot yet spend. For many growing UK businesses, that gap slows down expansion.
Selective Invoice Finance from Funding Alternative helps to close that gap. Instead of waiting out the payment term, you can release most of an invoice’s value almost immediately. That frees up cash to reinvest in the things that grow your business.
