Which invoice finance product suits your business?
Answer 4 questions to get a tailored recommendation in under 60 seconds.
What is your annual turnover?
This determines which invoice finance products you can access.
Three products. One cash flow problem solved.
Invoice finance isn't one-size-fits-all. The right product depends on your turnover, number of customers, and how much control you want to retain.
Whole-Ledger Factoring
Minimum turnover: Provider-dependent
Assign your entire sales ledger to the provider. An agreed advance and credit-control service may be available after assessment.
- Highest advance rates
- Provider chases payments
- Grows with your turnover
- Suitable for fast-growing businesses
Selective Invoice Finance
Minimum turnover: Provider-dependent
Choose which invoices you fund, where the provider permits it. Criteria, concentration limits and commitment vary.
- No long-term commitment
- Choose specific invoices
- Lower concentration risk
- Ideal for seasonal businesses
Spot / Single Invoice Factoring
Minimum turnover: Provider-dependent
Fund one invoice at a time where a provider offers the product. Invoice value, debtor quality, completion evidence and verification matter.
- May suit occasional use
- Choose specific invoices where permitted
- No whole-ledger commitment
- Timing depends on checks and provider

Who you could speak to
- STEP 1
A conversation with a broker
You talk to a real Sorbus broker about the business, the purpose and what is affordable. No application at this stage.
- STEP 2
Credit placement
If you choose to go further, we prepare the case and decide which lenders on our panel of 150+ are worth approaching.
- STEP 3
Lender assessment
The lender, not Sorbus, underwrites and makes the credit decision. Approval is never guaranteed.
- STEP 4
Documentation
If a lender offers terms and you accept, we help coordinate agreements and payout paperwork with you.
Every step after the first is optional. You can stop after the conversation. Sorbus is a broker, not a lender.
