Catalyst Finance Providing short term cash when you need it

What do we do? We provide a flexible cash facility against a single invoice, or group of invoices, that you have raised to one of your customers. Rather than wait, we can give you cash now until that invoice is paid by your customer Take as much or as little as you want, when you want it Think “Overdraft”

How do we do it? We buy your invoice, or group of invoices. We advance to you up to 90% of the invoice value, including VAT, to give you the cash you need for your business. Your customer will settle the invoice and money will be received into our bank account. On receipt of cash from your customer, we pay you the balance of the monies, less our agreed fee.

What security do we need? We are risk averse! Three elements of security taken : Invoice Customer You !

Invoice We need to be confident that the invoice that you sell to us is for goods or services provided by you to the satisfaction of your customer i.e. your customer recognises that the invoice is payable and will be paid.

Customer We need to ensure that your customer has the ability to pay. We undertake detailed due diligence on the financial position of your customer

You ! In the event that the invoice is not paid, we need to secure alternative payment We perform financial due diligence on you We take a charge over your debtor book We secure appropriate waivers from debenture holders if necessary AND…

Personal Guarantee We take an unsecured personal guarantee from Directors This is to ensure that you sell us invoices that you believe to be valid with no reason for non-payment. If the invoice is not paid on time, you are best placed to chase your customer and are incentivised to do this. Recourse only if specific invoice and other debtors fail

What does it cost? In simple terms, £2 per day per £1,000 advanced. No arrangement fee No transaction fees No exit fee No contract Flexible, measurable, manageable
