Invoice finance is a process where businesses sell their open invoices to receive immediate payment from third parties. This gives your business the opportunity to get cash immediately instead of waiting for client payments terms to mature.

Signing up for invoice finance through our platform is simple: 

• First register with your company information and fill out all of the required fields. Your account will then be reviewed by our risk team for approval. 
• Once approved, you will have full access to your dashboard and will be able to upload your eligible invoices.  You are able to choose which invoices you would like to sell for immediate capital.
• Once the invoices you have listed for sale have been accepted, you will be asked to confirm, at which point, the funds will be transferred to your verified bank account on file. 
• Upon the due date of the invoice listed, the invoices funded will be able to be paid directly through your dashboard via wire transfer or e-debit.
