Invoice Finance – Unlock Your Cash Flow

Unlock Your Cash Flow

Hermes has a number of innovative capital solutions to help your client stay afloat and in control in times of turbulence. Does your client have an urgent funding requirement, and the right assets to support the funding? Where the “right assets” is a debtors ledger, our Invoice Finance solution provides immediate working capital, allowing businesses to maintain operations and seize growth opportunities without waiting for customer payments.

What is Invoice Finance?

Invoice Finance provides fast access to working capital by unlocking funds tied up in unpaid invoices. Instead of waiting for customers to pay, businesses can receive immediate cash flow to cover expenses, pay suppliers, or invest in growth.

Who is it for?

  • SMEs that have a bright future but with a credit history and historical financials that don’t tell the full story.
  • SMEs that need cash flow to manage day-to-day operations.
  • Businesses that invoice other businesses (B2B) with trade terms.
  • Companies that don’t qualify for bank or institutional finance or need faster funding than traditional lenders provide.

How it Works

  • Submit invoices to Hermes Capital for funding.
  • Receive up to 80% of the invoice value within 24 hours
  • You receive the balance less a small fee after your customer pays.
  • Draw up to 80% of your outstanding invoices up to 90 days at settlement.

Security & Collateral

  • Secured against outstanding invoices.
  • Property security is not required in most cases.

Why Choose This Solution?

  • Fast access to cash – no waiting for customers to pay on stretched payment terms.
  • Unlock your invoices – when the bank ties up your other assets.
  • Improves cash flow – ensures operational stability and growth.
  • Flexible limits – funding grows with your business.
  • Confidential option is available – customers remain unaware of financing (for approved clients).
