Disclosed Invoice Discounting, a guide to staying in control.

Funding solutions are available across the country (and internet) to businesses who are seeking to increase their resources, from established businesses to of course, start-up businesses. SME’s face challenges when sourcing business finance – such as poor credit score (or no credit score). Traditionally, business funding was solely sourced from banks. In recent years, small businesses are increasingly seeking alternative funders. Banking trade body UK Finance found 59% of SME funding is sourced from outside the big banks. According to figures from UK Finance “gross lending to SMEs dropped 22 per cent to £14.3bn in 2023 from £18.4bn in 2022”.
