Benefit of CHOCCS facility

The simple difference between a CHOCCs facility and other invoice finance products is that you will be in charge of chasing the payments owed to you on the invoices you have financed. A confidential invoice discounting facility is a form of invoice finance where the customer is completely unaware a facility is in place. Invoice factoring works similarly, although it is fully disclosed that a lender will be involved in the process. The CHOCCs facility is hybrid of the two meaning the customer is aware of the lenders presence in the process, although no contact is made between them.


A CHOCCs facility is useful for those who cannot yet qualify for a full factoring facility due to being to early in your business. You will have to show the lender involved that you have the capability to contact your clients with the intention of chasing down your invoices on their behalf.

A CHOCCs facility is also useful for those who raise multiple smaller invoices, as this way the lender won't have to chase a large number of clients for payment.

keyboard_arrow_down

Invoice Finance facilities have varying amounts of accessible funds. Rather than a monetary maximum amount of monies available, Invoice Finance is calculated by what percentage of your invoice can be advanced. Most lenders can advance up to 90% of your invoice value. The percentage of your invoice being advanced also depends on which industry you operate in, with some being more/less preferable.
