What is Invoice Discounting?

Invoice discounting is a short-term working capital solution that turns your outstanding B2B invoices into cash—without losing control of customer interactions.

With this approach, you unlock the cash tied up in receivables well before payment is due—fueling business momentum.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invoice Discounting

How is invoice discounting different from invoice factoring?

While both solutions accelerate access to working capital by unlocking funds tied up in unpaid invoices, they differ in how collections and customer communications are managed.

Invoice discounting allows you to retain full control—your team continues handling credit control and collections, and the arrangement remains confidential.

Invoice factoring, on the other hand, includes outsourced collections, where the financier manages follow-ups and payments directly with your customers—ideal if you're looking to reduce administrative workload alongside boosting cash flow.

Is invoice discounting suitable for SMEs in Singapore?

Yes, invoice discounting is well-suited for SMEs with reliable customers and steady sales volumes. It helps unlock working capital without giving up control over customer relationships.

Do I need to inform my customers when using invoice discounting?

Typically no—invoice discounting is confidential. You continue to manage communications and collections. However, certain providers may require notification under specific terms, so it’s best to review your agreement.

How quickly can I access funds through invoice discounting services?

Once your invoices are verified, funds can be released quickly—often within days. Digital platforms like Factorglobe offer faster processing compared to traditional providers, especially for recurring users.

What types of invoices are eligible for invoice discounting?

Most invoice discounting providers accept unpaid, business-to-business (B2B) invoices that are undisputed and due within a set credit term (often 30 to 90 days). Invoices issued to creditworthy customers are typically preferred. Eligibility criteria can vary by provider, so it's best to check the specific requirements before applying.
