Pay your officers every week. Don’t wait for the client.
Manned guarding runs on wages. Officers are paid weekly or fortnightly, while clients and facilities firms pay monthly on 30 to 60 day terms. Invoice finance releases most of each invoice straight away, so you can staff new contracts with confidence.
- Funding against monthly contract invoices
- Helps you take on bigger sites and contracts
- Can be kept confidential from clients
Every new contract needs two months of wages up front.
Invoice finance releases cash from the first invoice, not after the client pays.
Most of each invoice is paid to you within a day or so.
Funding grows with your invoices, so new contracts bring their own funding.
How invoice finance works for security
Work the shifts
Invoice the client monthly as normal.
Share the invoice
With signed timesheets or shift records if the funder asks.
Cash in a day or so
Typically 80 to 90% of the invoice value.
Client pays
You receive the balance, minus fees.
What’s different about funding a security company
Labour heavy
Security works like recruitment for funders: wages out weekly, invoices paid monthly. That is exactly what invoice finance is for.
Contract clients
Business, facilities and public sector clients on regular contracts are attractive to funders.
Subcontracting
If you work through or with other security firms, funders will want to see how invoices and responsibilities are set up.
Events work
One-off event invoices can be funded with single invoice finance.
Is invoice finance right for your business?
Usually a good fit
- Manned guarding, mobile patrols, key holding or event security
- Business or public sector clients
- Monthly contract invoicing
- Limited company or LLP
Harder to fund
- Mainly one-off private bookings
- Disputed hours or invoices
- One client making up nearly all your work
