Invoice Finance For Waste Management Companies

Waiting To Be Paid Is Holding Your Business Back

Unlock Up To 90% Of Your Outstanding Invoice Value

You've completed the collection. The waste has been moved. The customer has been invoiced.

So why should your business have to wait 30, 60 or even 90 days to access the money you've already earned?

For waste management businesses, lengthy payment terms can put unnecessary pressure on cash flow. Invoice Finance can help unlock a proportion of the value of your outstanding invoices, giving your business access to working capital sooner.

Creative Asset Finance can help waste businesses explore Invoice Finance solutions designed around their individual circumstances and cash-flow requirements.

If you're waiting 30, 60 or even 90 days for customers to pay, Invoice Finance gives you access to the cash you've already earned.

You've Done The Work. Now Get Your Cash Working.

Waste businesses can often find themselves carrying significant amounts of outstanding invoices.

You may have completed hundreds of collections, supplied materials, transported waste or fulfilled a large commercial contract but if your customer operates on 30, 60 or 90-day payment terms, your business may still be waiting for the money.

In the meantime, the bills don't stop.

Fuel needs paying for.

Staff need paying.

Vehicles need maintaining.

Insurance and site costs continue.

And the next opportunity may require investment.

Invoice Finance can help bridge that gap by releasing cash against eligible outstanding invoices, allowing you to access money tied up in your sales ledger sooner.

Built Around the Realities of Waste Businesses

Waste operators can work with a wide variety of customers, many of which have established payment terms.

This can include:

Local Authorities
Commercial businesses
Construction companies
Manufacturers
Industrial sites
Facilities management companies
Retailers
Property and development companies

Taking on a larger customer or contract can be fantastic for your business, but increased turnover doesn't always mean increased cash flow.

In fact, rapid growth can sometimes put more pressure on working capital.

You may need to pay for additional vehicles, fuel, drivers, staff and operational costs long before the customer settles their invoice.

Invoice Finance can help provide the working capital needed to keep your operation moving while you wait for customers to pay.

How Does Invoice Finance Work?

You Complete The Work

Your business provides its waste management, recycling, haulage or related service to your customer.

You Raise An Invoice

You invoice your customer according to your agreed payment terms.

Funding Is Released

Depending on the facility and circumstances, you may be able to access up to 90% of the invoice value before your customer pays.

Your Customer Pays

Your customer settles the original invoice according to their normal payment terms.

The Remaining Balance Is Released

The remaining balance is paid to your business, less any applicable fees or charges.

The result?

You don't necessarily have to wait months for your customers to pay before having access to the working capital your business needs.

Finance facilities and advance percentages are subject to lender criteria, eligibility, terms and conditions.

What Could Earlier Access to Cash Mean for Your Business?

The value of Invoice Finance isn't simply getting money into your bank account sooner. It's what having access to that money could allow your business to do.

Take On More Work

Keep Your Fleet Moving

Use available working capital towards fuel, servicing, repairs, tyres and other essential vehicle costs.

If a new contract requires additional resources, having access to working capital can help you respond to the opportunity.

Manage Growth

Pay Your Team

Maintain healthy cash flow for wages and other operational commitments.

Growing turnover can create additional pressure on cash flow. Invoice Finance can help bridge the gap between completing work and receiving payment.

Handle Unexpected Costs

Invest in Equipment

Put money towards new vehicles, skips, containers, plant or recycling equipment.

Waste businesses can face unexpected vehicle repairs, equipment failures and operational expenses. Having more accessible working capital can provide additional financial flexibility.

Growth Is Great.
Cash Flow Still Matters.

Imagine you've just secured a significant new commercial contract.

It's exactly the kind of opportunity you've been working towards.

But the customer has 60-day payment terms.

To deliver the contract, you need another vehicle, additional fuel, more labour and potentially new equipment and you need to pay those costs long before the first invoice is settled.

This is where cash flow can become a barrier to growth.

Invoice Finance can help businesses access funds against eligible invoices sooner, helping to reduce the gap between completing the work and getting paid.

It means you can focus on delivering the contract rather than constantly worrying about when the money will arrive.
