Customer Owes Your Business Money? Turn Eligible Unpaid Invoices Into Working Capital

An unpaid invoice can create a real cash-flow problem even when the business itself is healthy. Payroll, vendors, new projects and operating expenses continue while the company waits 30, 60 or even 90 days for a customer payment.

Can an Unpaid Business Invoice Be Financed?

Invoice financing is a business funding category built around qualifying accounts receivable. Instead of waiting until the customer pays under normal invoice terms, an eligible business may be able to access capital based on the receivable.

This can be particularly relevant for B2B companies that have completed and delivered work for another business but are still waiting for payment.

What Makes an Invoice More Financeable?

Funding providers may want to understand who owes the invoice, the amount outstanding, when it was issued, whether the goods or services were fully delivered and accepted, and whether there is any dispute affecting payment.

Businesses should therefore have the invoice, supporting contract or work documentation, customer information and evidence that the underlying work has been completed. The company’s overall operating and banking profile may also be reviewed.

When Does Invoice Financing Make Sense?

Invoice financing may be useful when the business needs working capital now but has legitimate receivables that will not be collected immediately. Capital may help bridge payroll, vendor expenses, inventory purchases or the cost of accepting additional projects while awaiting payment.

If your business has a completed, undisputed B2B invoice and you need capital before the customer pays, connect with EIN Business Funding to explore whether invoice financing or another working-capital solution may fit.
