New Year – New Finance Facility?

As it is the new year would it be worth reviewing your finance facility? It is probably a worthwhile exercise for the following reasons:

  • you may be paying a minimum base rate which means you are paying too much and not benefitting from the current low base rate
  • has your turnover increased? If so your service fee is probably too high as it is based on your lower turnover when you set up the facility.
  • Is your funding restricted? If so, structure a facility properly so that cash generation is maximised.

Smart Factoring Quotes will happily conduct a review for you. We will do all the work and our service costs you nothing.

Are minimum fees increasing your costs?

If you have an invoice finance facility where the minimum fees are being charged each month then the likelihood is that you are paying too much for your facility.

The minimum fee will be the default charge where your monthly turnover has fallen below expected levels.

If this is happening on a regular basis I am confident that Smart Factoring Quotes will be able to save you money by restructuring your facility.

We have reduced a clients service fee by over 50%

We have been working with a print company who were using their own bank to provide invoice finance facilities.

They enquired via our website about reviewing their facility.

We discovered that their bank had essentially been overcharging them for the invoice finance facility. This was as a result of their turnover having doubled since they set up the agreement.

By undertaking a full market review we not only improved the structure of the facility but also saved our client over 50% on their service fee.

If you have an existing facility it is imperative you review it on a regular basis. At Smart Factoring Quotes we would be delighted to assist.
