Unlock Cash Flow Without Waiting for Customer Payments

Bizrock Consulting helps B2B SMEs in Singapore access invoice financing solutions through banks and financial institutions to improve cash flow and support day-to-day operations. If your business issues invoices with payment terms of 30, 60 or even 120 days, invoice financing may help you access working capital earlier without disrupting operations.

What is Invoice Financing?

Invoice financing is a short-term business financing solution provided by banks and financial institutions that allows SMEs to unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices. Instead of waiting for customer payments based on agreed terms, businesses may access a percentage of the invoice value upfront, improving cash flow, liquidity and operational flexibility.

How Invoice Financing Works

Issue an invoice to your customer

Your business delivers goods or services and issues an invoice based on agreed payment terms.

Submit the invoice for financing

The invoice is submitted to a bank or financial institution for assessment rather than waiting for customer payment.

Receive an advance on the invoice value

Subject to approval, the bank or financial institution advances a percentage of the invoice value, typically between 70% and 90%.

Customer makes payment and financing is settled

Once payment is received from the customer, the remaining balance is released after deducting applicable financing charges and fees.

Frequently Asked Questions: Invoice Financing for SMEs

What is invoice financing and how can it help my business?

Invoice financing allows SMEs to unlock cash tied up in unpaid invoices, helping improve cash flow and support day-to-day operations such as payroll, supplier payments, inventory and growth without waiting for customer payments.

Eligibility depends on business profile, financial history and invoice quality. SMEs operating on B2B contracts with structured payment terms and recurring corporate clients are typically suitable. Bizrock Consulting helps assess suitability and identify options through banks and financial institutions.

Funding depends on invoice value and lender assessment. Banks and financial institutions typically advance a percentage of eligible invoices based on risk profile and eligibility.

Timelines vary by bank and application complexity. Once approved, funds are generally released within a few days to a couple of weeks, subject to processing timelines.

Costs may include interest, service fees or discount charges depending on the financing structure and lender. These are determined by the respective bank or financial institution.

It depends on the structure:

  • Invoice Factoring – Customers may be notified as the lender manages collections
  • Invoice Discounting – Typically confidential, with your business retaining control of collections

In invoice factoring, the lender manages collections and may assume credit risk depending on the agreement. In invoice discounting, your business remains responsible for collections and repayment obligations.
