Substantial debtor books

Large Invoice Finance Facilities for UK Businesses

Direct answer: NBS Finance can review large invoice-finance facilities from £250,000 to £10 million+ through our lender and specialist partner network. Facilities above £10 million may also be considered depending on turnover, debtor quality, concentration, payment terms and lender appetite. Funding is subject to provider assessment, not guaranteed.

£250,000 to £10 Million+ The facility limit quoted by a provider is not automatically cash available. Actual funding released depends on eligible invoices, advance rates, concentration limits and customer eligibility at any given time.

Usually takes around 4–8 minutes. Completing an enquiry does not commit you to taking finance.

NBS Finance is a commercial finance broker and introducer, not a lender. NBS does not charge the client a separate broker fee. A provider decides whether to offer a facility and sets the advance rate, charges, fees, security and terms. An enquiry or introduction does not guarantee an offer.

What a facility is sized against

Factors behind a larger facility

Unlike a fixed-amount loan, an invoice-finance facility rises and falls with the ledger. At a larger scale, several factors influence how much is actually available at any time.

Scale

Turnover and monthly invoicing

Overall turnover and how much is invoiced each month set the general scale of a suitable facility.

Composition

Debtor book and aged debtors

The number of customers, typical invoice values and how promptly debts are usually collected all matter.

Spread

Concentration

Where a small number of customers make up a large share of the ledger, a provider may cap availability against them. See debtor concentration guidance.

Customer quality

Customer creditworthiness

Providers usually review the credit standing of the debtors themselves, not only the business raising the invoice.

Ledger health

Terms, disputes and credit notes

Agreed payment terms, the level of disputes and the frequency of credit notes can all affect eligible invoice value.

These factors interact, so two businesses with similar turnover can be offered materially different facilities depending on their debtor book and customer mix.

When a larger invoice-finance facility becomes more complex

As the facility size grows, so does the amount of information and structuring a provider may need to work through.

Where added complexity tends to appear in a larger facility
Area What can add complexity
Structure choice Deciding between factoring, discounting or confidential discounting affects credit control and how customers experience the facility.
Sector-specific ledgers Construction applications for payment and certificates, or recruitment payroll cycles, need specialist handling within the facility.
Multiple large customers Several sizeable customers can each need individual credit assessment and limit setting.
Existing facility to replace Settlement figures, notices to customers and continuity of funding all need coordinating when switching provider.
Cost structure Pricing can include a service fee, a discount charge and additional charges; see invoice finance costs and fees.

None of this means a larger facility is unavailable. It means more preparation and a more detailed conversation usually help the process move efficiently.
