Receivables finance


Invoice Discounting


Flexible financing to boost your cash flow.


We understand that you want simple, flexible cash solutions - and quickly.But not just for your UK business - exporters need funding too. If your business is growing rapidly and cash is needed to support expansion plans, our Receivables Financing service provides you with a viable alternative that will allow you to grow your business with confidence, wherever you sell in the world.


Facilitating export trade


A key advantage of using Coface UK for your receivables financing and debt protection needs is that we have the ability and the appetite for export business unmatched by our competitors. We can fund wherever Coface provides cover, and given Coface's position as a world-leading export trade underwriter, that means most parts of the world - not just Europe as other invoice discounters do. Furthermore, we treat sales to OECD markets as domestic business and price them the same way.
