Invoice Finance for Wholesalers
Wholesale businesses operate on tight margins with large volumes. You buy in bulk, sell on trade credit, and wait for retailers or other businesses to pay. Invoice finance turns your unpaid invoices into immediate working capital so you can take advantage of bulk purchase discounts and fulfil larger orders.
Wholesalers with a diversified debtor book (many customers rather than concentration on a few) get the best terms, as lenders spread their risk across your sales ledger.
Key Benefits
- Take advantage of bulk purchase discounts from suppliers
- Accept larger orders without cash flow constraints
- Facility grows automatically with your sales volume
- Protect against bad debts with non-recourse options
Frequently Asked Questions
Is invoice finance suitable for businesses with seasonal peaks?
Very much so. Invoice finance is ideal for seasonal businesses because the facility automatically scales with your invoicing volume. You draw more during peak months and less during quieter periods.
Can I combine it with stock finance for buying inventory?
Yes. A combined invoice finance and stock finance facility gives you working capital for both buying and selling. Some lenders offer integrated facilities that cover the full stock-to-cash cycle.
What if I have a few large customers?
Debtor concentration (e.g. one customer representing 40%+ of turnover) can affect advance rates or require the lender to credit-insure specific debtors. Diversified books get better terms.
How are returns and credit notes handled?
Credit notes reduce the amount available on your facility. Lenders typically build a reserve (the 10-15% not advanced) to absorb normal levels of returns, disputes, and credit notes.
