Changing Your Invoice Finance Provider

Thinking about kicking your invoice finance provider to the curb? Whether they're not cutting it or you just want something better, this guide is your ticket. We're covering the A to Z of UCCs, how to switch providers without a hitch, and the essential questions that'll make sure you're teaming up with the right new financial partner.

Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Explained

First things first, UCCs. They're a big deal in the invoice finance world. Here's what they do:

  • Track who's got rights to your assets.
  • Give a heads-up to other lenders about your current finance deals.
  • Ensure your finance company is first in line for your invoices, just like a bank with a mortgage on your house.

Transitioning Between Providers

Switching finance providers is pretty much like refinancing your house. Your new finance provider will pay off the old one, and you all sign off on a Buyout Agreement.

Calculating the Buyout Amount

Figuring out the buyout amount involves unpaid invoices, reserves, and any extra fees your old financier might throw in. Always ask for a detailed cost breakdown to avoid surprises and check if your new deal is a better fit financially.

Cost Implications of a Buyout

Making the switch can be smooth on your wallet if you're bringing new invoices to your new financier. But watch out – reusing old invoices might lead to double charges. Some financiers offer discounts, but remember to tell your old provider in time to avoid extra fees.

Time Considerations

Switching isn't a snap-of-the-fingers kind of deal. It adds a few days for all the calculations and paperwork. The amount you owe could keep changing, so team up with a pro to make it as smooth as possible.

Complex Scenarios

In some rare situations, both your old and new financiers might have their fingers in the pie of your invoices until the previous balance is paid off. It's not typical, but it happens.

Questions to Ponder Before Committing

  • Thinking about playing the field with multiple invoice finance companies?
  • What's the fine print on changing providers, including any exit fees?
  • How does the new provider handle payments, and what's the turnaround time?
  • Who are your main contacts at the new finance company?
  • Who's covering the costs for sending out your invoices?
  • Are there extra charges for credit checks or adding new clients?
  • When do they start holding back reserves?
