Invoice finance advance
Creative and media businesses typically have high talent costs, long project timelines, and clients who pay on 30 to 60 day terms. Whether you run a design agency, production company, or digital studio, the right finance structure lets you focus on the work rather than chasing payments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a small design agency use invoice finance?
Yes. Facilities start from as little as £10,000 in annual turnover. If you invoice other businesses for your services, invoice finance can improve your cash flow significantly.
Do creative agencies qualify for R&D tax credits?
Potentially. If your agency develops software, apps, games, or digital products that involve technical uncertainty, you may qualify. Video production, animation, and VFX companies often qualify. Speak to an R&D tax specialist for a specific assessment.
