Whilst the group does however have strong relationships with our Panel and provides other services directly to them, we will not act for any of the funders where Touch has in the first instance successfully assisted you obtain an invoice finance facility.

Our main role is to introduce you to a number of invoice finance funders on our approved panel who we believe have the appetite and the ability to offer you a facility.

Although we do specialise in invoice finance, we may also be able to help you consider certain alternative options and have a separate panel of providers who may suit your needs.

Our policy is that all our consultants complete the UK Finance’s Invoice Finance and Asset Based Lending Foundation Course. For more information about UK Finance, please visit www.ukfinance.org.uk

The average advance rates are usually between 80-95%. Advance rates do depend, however, on the individual circumstances of the business especially in sectors such as construction where a business owner or contractor may only enjoy a 60-70% advance.

We believe that Invoice finance is now recognised and considered as a viable and effective alternative to a bank overdraft or loan. Where it particularly wins is that it facilitates business growth without the need for large amounts of assets to act as security. This often means that invoice finance – in the right circumstances and with the right funding partner – could provide multiple times as much cash for a business compared to a more ‘traditional’ funding line such as a bank overdraft.
