What is Invoice Discounting?
As a type of Invoice Financing, Invoice Discounting allows businesses to secure a line of credit by using unpaid or outstanding invoices as collateral rather than property or other assets.
Instead of waiting for slow or late paying customers to settle outstanding invoices, you’ll receive a cash advancement to ensure no delays or disruptions to cash flow.
The key difference with this type of facility, compared to invoice factoring, is that collections are all handled by you and thus the funding arrangement with ScotPac as a third party remains 100% confidential.If you don’t want your customers to know you’re seeking financing on their unpaid invoices, invoice discounting is the way to go.

Who does Invoice Discounting suit?
Business Sizes
Our business funding experts usually recommend invoice discounting to small-to-medium sized enterprises with an in-house accounts receivable team.
By having an internal accounts department able to perform the full spectrum of collections duties (such as calls, reminder letters and issuing monthly statements), you’ll be better qualified for an invoice discounting facility.
Industries
Invoice discounting is particularly suited to industries where businesses tend to offer extended credit terms to customers and face delays in receiving payment. Discounting allows them to fill in the gap in cash flow between invoicing and receipt of outstanding funds.
Some of the key industries we support and have worked with include:
- Recruitment & staffing
- Wholesale trade
- Manufacturing
- Transport & storage
