  • Bridge NHS and insurer payments
  • Recruit and onboard a new clinician
  • Acquire or open another practice

Why practice owners choose invoice finance

NHS and insurers pay on their schedule

NHS contract payments, private medical insurers and local authority care fees follow their own timetables. Invoice finance and revolving credit bridge the wait.

Clinical equipment is expensive

Dental chairs, imaging, lasers and diagnostic systems can be spread over their working life with asset finance.

Regulation shapes spending

CQC standards and infection-control requirements can mean refurbishment on a timetable you don't set.

New clinicians take time to pay back

Adding an associate or practitioner pays off, but only after months of ramp-up.

How does invoice finance work?

    Apply and share your aged debtors report. We assess the quality of your customers as much as your own business.

  2. 2

    Choose factoring, where we manage collections for you, or invoice discounting, where you keep control and customers need not know.

What is invoice finance?
Invoice finance lets you borrow against money your customers owe you. You receive an advance on unpaid invoices, then the balance, less fees, once the customer pays.
What's the difference between factoring and invoice discounting?
With factoring, the finance provider manages your sales ledger and collects payment from your customers. With invoice discounting, you keep running credit control and collections yourself, and the arrangement can be confidential.
Do you finance clinical and dental equipment?
Yes. Asset finance covers new and used clinical equipment, from dental chairs and CBCT scanners to aesthetics lasers and diagnostics.
