Changing Your Invoice Finance Provider

Considering a change in your invoice finance provider? Whether due to dissatisfaction or a strategic shift, our guide offers clear insights into the process. We cover everything from the nuances of UCCs to the steps of transitioning, along with essential questions to guide your decision for a new partner.

Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Explained

Learn about UCC filings – a standard procedure for invoice finance companies safeguarding their interests:

  • It records and tracks rights to assets.
  • Provides transparency about existing financial agreements to other lenders.
  • Guarantees the financier's primary claim on your invoices, much like a mortgage on a property or a title for a vehicle.

Transitioning Between Providers

Transitioning to a new provider involves a "buyout", similar to refinancing a mortgage. Your new financier will settle the balance with your previous one, as detailed in a Buyout Agreement.

Calculating the Buyout Amount

This amount typically includes the sum of unpaid invoices less reserves, plus fees from the former financier. It's important to ask for a detailed statement to fully understand any extra charges or termination fees.

Cost Implications of a Buyout

Transitioning can be cost-effective when managed with new invoices. However, reusing previously financed invoices could lead to dual fees. Some financiers may offer fee discounts, but it's crucial to inform your old provider promptly to avoid extra costs.

Time Considerations

The process might extend your usual operational timeline due to the complexities of buyout calculations and approvals. The buyout amount can vary based on accruing fees and ongoing payments. Choosing an experienced company can help make this transition smoother.

Complex Scenarios

In some instances, both your previous and new financiers might temporarily share rights to your invoices until the balance is settled, though this is not common practice.

Questions to Ponder Before Committing

  • Is it feasible to engage with multiple invoice finance companies at the same time?
  • What is the notice period for changing providers, and what penalties, if any, are involved?
  • What are the payment processing times with the new provider?
  • Who will be your main contacts at the finance company, and how many people will be involved?
  • Are there any costs for mailing invoices?
  • Are additional fees applicable for credit checks or onboarding new clients?
  • When does the new provider start holding reserves?
