Flexible facilities that scale with your project pipeline. Access up to 90% of invoice value as soon as work is certified - compare 40+ UK lenders, free.
Engineering businesses - whether mechanical, electrical, civil, or process engineering - share a common problem: project-based revenue that arrives in lumps while costs run continuously. Staff, equipment hire, materials, sub-contractors and overheads must all be funded while clients take 30 to 90 days to settle their invoices.
For businesses that win contracts and grow rapidly, this creates a paradox: growth itself becomes a cash flow threat. Winning a new £500,000 project requires outlaying significant capital before a single invoice is paid.
Invoice finance for engineering companies advances up to 90% of your invoice value within 24 hours of raising it. As you invoice clients for completed project stages, delivered equipment, or time-and-materials work, the facility releases cash immediately rather than making you wait two to three months for payment.
Most engineering businesses opt for invoice discounting over factoring. It is fully confidential - your clients never know the arrangement exists - and you retain full control of your own credit management and client relationships. This matters particularly in professional services where client trust is paramount.
