Changing Your Invoice Finance Provider

Are you considering switching your invoice finance provider? Whether due to dissatisfaction or other reasons, our guide provides clear, factual information. We cover critical aspects like UCCs, the process of transitioning to a new provider, and important questions to consider before making your decision.

Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Explained

UCC filings are essential in invoice finance, serving to:

  • Monitor rights over assets.
  • Inform other lenders about your existing financial agreements.
  • Ensure that your financier has priority over your invoices, similar to mortgage or car title arrangements.

Transitioning Between Providers

Switching providers is a critical process involving a "buyout." Here, your new provider takes over the obligations from the old one, akin to mortgage refinancing. This is formalized in a Buyout Agreement.

Calculating the Buyout Amount

The buyout amount generally includes your outstanding invoices minus reserves, plus any fees from your previous financier. It's important to get a detailed breakdown to understand any extra costs, including early termination fees.

Cost Implications of a Buyout

Transitioning can be cost-effective by providing new invoices to your new financier. However, reusing previously financed invoices might incur double fees. Prompt communication with your old provider is crucial to avoid additional costs.

Time Considerations

The transition may add extra time to the typical process, due to buyout calculations and necessary approvals. Choosing an experienced financier can make this transition more efficient.

Complex Scenarios

In some scenarios, rights to your invoices may be shared between your old and new financiers until the balance is settled. However, this is not typically standard practice.

Questions to Ponder Before Committing

  • Is working with multiple invoice finance companies simultaneously feasible?
  • What are the conditions for changing providers, including notice periods and penalties?
  • How does the new provider handle payment processing?
  • Who are your primary contacts at the finance company?
  • Are there any postage costs associated with mailing invoices?
  • Are there additional fees for credit checks or new customer setups?
  • When does the provider start reserving funds?
