Changing Your Invoice Finance Provider

Thinking about switching your invoice finance provider? Our comprehensive guide provides you with a clear understanding of the entire process. We cover the essentials, from UCCs to transitioning, along with critical questions to consider before committing to a new partnership.

Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Explained

Invoice finance companies use UCC filings to protect their interests. Understanding UCCs is crucial as they:

  • Track rights over assets.
  • Inform other lenders about existing financial agreements.
  • Ensure the financier's priority on your invoices, akin to how mortgages or car titles work.

Transitioning Between Providers

When you switch providers, it involves a "buyout." Your new provider takes over the balance from your previous one, similar to a mortgage refinancing. This is formalized in a Buyout Agreement.

Calculating the Buyout Amount

The buyout amount typically includes your unpaid invoices minus any reserves, plus additional fees. It's important to request a detailed breakdown to fully understand all costs, including early termination fees.

Cost Implications of a Buyout

Transitioning can be cost-effective, especially if you provide new invoices to your new financier. Avoid re-submitting previously financed invoices to prevent double fees. Prompt communication with your old provider is essential to avoid additional charges.

Time Considerations

Changing providers may require extra processing time due to buyout calculations. Working with an experienced financier can help make this transition smoother.

Complex Scenarios

In some cases, both your old and new financiers may hold rights to your invoices during the transition, though this is not always the case.

Questions to Ponder Before Committing

  • Is it possible to work with multiple invoice finance companies?
  • What are the notice periods and penalties for changing providers?
  • How long does the new provider take to process payments?
  • Who will be your point of contact at the finance company?
  • Are there any postage costs for sending invoices?
  • What additional fees, like credit checks or new customer setups, can you expect?
  • When does the financier start reserving funds?
