What is invoice discounting?

Invoice discounting is a solution where a finance company (In this case Avila Financial Solutions), lends you cash based on your future receivables. I.E. Take for example if you have your own company, and sale AUD 50,000 of products a week. Normally it would take you 30-60 days to recover that money. By doing Invoice Financing you are able to get up to 85% of that 50,000 on day two of invoicing, hence enabling you to grow effectively.

What is Supply Chain Financing (Supplier Financing)?

Supplier financing allows you to grant Avila the permission to pay invoices you have received on your behalf. Simply speaking Avila pays your suppliers in your behalf at invoice date instead of late payments, this allows you to purchase more stock, release pressure from payables and also improve your relationship with your suppliers.

What is Factoring?

Factoring is very similar to invoice financing, but instead of financing your receivables Avila actually purchases the invoice at a discounted price. This allows you to transfer the risk and work to Avila. This is a great solution when you are working with receivables you want to clear from your balance sheet.
