Construction Invoice Finance

At Business Finance Direct, we specialise in connecting UK construction firms with tailored invoice finance solutions. Whether you’re a main contractor, subcontractor, or construction supplier, our brokerage service ensures you get the funding you need — fast, flexible, and UK-focused.

What is Construction Invoice Finance?

Construction invoice finance allows businesses to unlock funds tied up in unpaid invoices or applications for payment. By advancing up to 90% of the invoice value, finance providers help you maintain steady cash flow, even when clients delay payments.

Unlike standard factoring, construction finance is designed for the industry’s unique payment structures — including stage payments, retention, and applications for payment.

How Construction Finance Works

  1. Apply for Funding: Submit applications or invoices to the finance provider.
  2. Advance Payment: Receive up to 95% of the invoice value within 24 hours.
  3. Client Payment: Once your client pays, the remaining balance (minus fees) is released.

Your Finance Options

  • Factoring: The provider manages collections and credit control.
  • Confidential Invoice Discounting: You manage client relationships; funding remains discreet.
  • Spot/Selective Finance: Fund single invoices when needed.
  • Recourse & Non-Recourse Options: Choose based on your risk appetite

FAQ of Construction Invoice Finance Factoring

What’s the difference between Construction Invoice Finance and Construction Invoice Factoring?

There’s really no difference, you’ll often hear both terms used.

How much funding can I access with Construction Invoice Factoring?

Typically between 70 – 90% of invoice or application value — balance on client payment. Due to the contractural nature it’s often lower than normal factoring.

How quickly can I receive funds?

In many cases, within 24 hours of approval.

Are there hidden fees?

This is one reason why we suggest you use our services as we will ensure all aspects of the contract are disclosed to you by the funder.

Do I qualify as a subcontractor?

Yes — we work with subcontractors, sole traders, and main contractors.

How common is Construction Invoice Discounting?

Factoring is more common as it allows the funder to have more of a hands on monitoring approach, especially where complex contracts are involved. Often Invoice Discounting is approved for larger businesses with a very thorough in house credit control team.

Is Business Finance Direct a Construction Factoring Broker?

Yes, we are a trusted construction factoring broker, having spent many years within this sector.
