Invoice Discounting in the UK — Confidential Funding Against Your Invoices

Keep cash flowing while you keep control. The Funding Store arranges invoice discounting across the UK, giving you confidential access to working capital against your unpaid invoices while your team continues to manage collections. If you’ve outgrown slow payment terms but want to maintain customer relationships in-house, invoice discounting is a precise, scalable fit.

Why choose The Funding Store for invoice discounting?

  • Large UK lender panel: Access mainstream and specialist providers in one place.
  • Fast, streamlined onboarding: Digital applications and clear documentation pathways.
  • Most credit profiles considered: Options for established SMEs and growing firms.
  • Dedicated account manager: One point of contact from enquiry to first draw.
  • Transparent process: Straightforward terms, timelines and next steps throughout.

Exploring the broader category? See our pillar guide to Invoice Finance and compare with Invoice Factoring if you’d prefer the funder to manage collections.

What is invoice discounting?

Invoice discounting advances a percentage of your approved invoices, usually on a confidential basis. You raise an invoice, upload it to the lender’s portal, and draw funds the same day or shortly after—then receive the remaining balance (less fees) when the customer pays. You retain credit control, so customer communications and payment processes stay with your team.

Ideal when you want:

  • Confidential funding that doesn’t change the customer experience.
  • A facility that grows with sales and adapts to new contracts.
  • Fast access to cash for payroll, stock, and project delivery.

How invoice discounting works (step by step)

  1. Scope & indication
    We confirm turnover profile, debtor mix, average terms and any concentrations, then secure indicative terms from suitable lenders.
  2. Underwriting & set-up
    Lender reviews financials and ledger quality. For most facilities, a simple audit/verification and trust account set-up (or notice-of-assignment arrangements) may apply.
  3. Go-live
    You upload approved invoices via the portal (or integrate with your accounting package) and draw a set percentage immediately.
  4. Collections & reconciliation
    Your team collects as normal. When customers pay, you receive the remaining balance less any agreed fees.
  5. Ongoing optimisation
    Limits can adjust with growth; some providers offer top-ups, export add-ons, or bad-debt protection options.

Who is invoice discounting right for?

  • Companies with robust in-house credit control and clear processes.
  • Businesses on 30-90 day terms that are growing faster than cash receipts.
  • Firms with repeat B2B customers, clean proof-of-delivery and low dispute rates.
  • Organisations wanting confidential funding without third-party collections.


If you’d like support with collections-or a disclosed structure-compare with Invoice Factoring.

Benefits of invoice discounting

  • Confidentiality: Keep customer communications and credit control in-house.
  • Funding that scales: Limits can rise in line with your ledger and seasonal peaks.
  • Stronger cash position: Cover payroll, supplier terms and new orders with confidence.
  • Negotiating power: Pay suppliers earlier and secure volume or early-settlement discounts.
  • Simple, digital operations: Upload, draw, reconcile-most lenders provide streamlined portals.


We do not publish definitive rates. Availability and terms depend on lender criteria, credit profile, debtor quality and documentation.

Features to expect (varies by lender)

  • Advance rate: A percentage of approved invoices (subject to eligibility rules).
  • Confidential structure: Typically no customer-facing disclosure.
  • Eligibility rules: Debtor concentration caps, recourse terms, and dispute parameters.
  • Reporting & integrations: Bank feeds, CSV/API, or accounting package links.
  • Optional extras: Bad-debt protection, export funding, selective top-ups.

Eligibility & what lenders consider

  • Time trading and recent financial performance.
  • Debtor spread, sector mix and average invoice values.
  • Contract strength, proof-of-delivery and dispute rates.
  • Internal credit-control processes and ledger housekeeping.
  • Bank statements, aged debt analysis and concentration risks.


Your account manager will outline exactly what to provide and package your case cleanly to reduce back-and-forth.

Costs explained (plain English)

Invoice discounting pricing typically includes:

  • A service fee linked to facility usage/turnover; and
  • A discount/interest charge applied to funds in use.


Total cost depends on volumes, debtor quality, structure and reporting requirements. We’ll present options side by side so you can weigh flexibility against price. (No definitive rates published.)

Variations you can consider

  • Confidential invoice discounting (CID): Standard form—customers are unaware.
  • Selective/spot discounting: Fund individual invoices or contracts when needed.
  • Export discounting: Extend funding to overseas debtors (jurisdiction dependent).
  • With/without protection: Add bad-debt protection to reduce insolvency risk exposure.

Our process (simple and clear)

  1. Tell us your goals & ledger profile
  2. We scan our lender panel and present tailored terms
  3. You compare options with clear features and estimated costs
  4. We coordinate documents, audits and go-live
  5. You draw funds and manage collections as usual

Invoice discounting advances cash against your unpaid invoices while you keep control of credit management. Funding is usually confidential, and limits can grow with sales.

Advance rates vary by debtor quality, sector, concentration and terms. We’ll present options and explain how eligibility rules affect the usable limit.

Minimums vary. Some lenders support smaller facilities if ledger quality, margins and processes are strong. We’ll match your profile to the most suitable panel options.
