HOW IT WORKS
Invoice
Your customer places an order, you fulfil the order and you raise the normal invoice on your standard terms.
Transfer
You notify Stellar Capital’s partners that you have issued the invoice to your customer and provide us with their details, payment terms and the amount owing.
Payment
Our partners make a payment to you which represents an advance on the invoice value as an agreed percentage of the total amount.
Collection
Depending on the agreement, either you or our partner collect the invoiced amount, the agreed fee retained by our partner and the balance paid to you.
INVOICE FACTORING HIGHLIGHTS
- You continue to trade normally, invoicing your customers and clients as usual
- You transfer all the invoice details to your contracted finance partner
- Your finance provider releases to you an agreed percentage of the invoice value, often within 48 hours
- In a factoring agreement your provider takes over the job of collecting the debt
- Alternatively, in a discounting agreement, you retain responsibility for chasing payment
- Once the invoice is paid you receive the balance, less the agreed fees
OTHER OPTIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Invoice financing is an extremely efficient method of optimising the value of your receivables but it is not the only one open to you.
Trade Finance and Purchase Financing
When you need to buy goods from suppliers who do not offer credit terms and demand payment upon shipping, Stellar Capital’s commercial finance partners allow you to order and receive goods by making the payment on your behalf. It also means you can take advantage of any early settlement discounts.

Asset Finance
Investment in new plant or machinery can be substantial. Asset finance enables you to buy, rent or refinance significant assets without the up-front costs. Stellar Capital’s partners buy the equipment and supply it to you under a fixed-term lease – extendable by mutual agreement – or as hire purchase agents, funding the purchase which you repay in instalments.

Stock Finance
Tangible assets are another efficient source of funding, with money made available to you based on the independently assessed value of your stock and inventory. This adjunct to our invoice finance facility allows you to retain ownership while releasing working capital.
