What is selective invoice finance?
Selective invoice finance allows a business to access funding against chosen invoices, customers or parts of the sales ledger rather than using one facility across every invoice.
With selective invoice finance, your business may be able to release cash from specific invoices or customer accounts. This can help when funding is needed for a particular contract, customer, growth opportunity or cashflow requirement.
It can be more flexible than a full sales ledger facility, but suitability depends on the invoices, debtor profile, payment terms, funding amount and funder criteria.
Selective invoice finance can overlap with spot factoring, but the right structure depends on whether your funding need is one-off, recurring or linked to selected customers.
Best suited to: B2B businesses that want flexibility to fund selected invoices, selected customers or specific working capital needs.
