Ensuring timely collection of client fees is a vital, and often awkward area for many practices. Whether you are issuing multiple invoices upon completion of work, proposing a fee beforehand, or looking to clear aged debtors, Fee Finance can be transformational to your practice's cashflow with minimal processing, while at the same time providing clients with convenient payment terms at low cost.

Fee Finance is fast becoming a primary cash flow tool for accountancy practices of all sizes throughout the UK and Ireland. It offers a seamless and easy-to-use cash flow solution that benefits both practices and their clients. The key advantage? You'll receive 100% of your fee upfront, eliminating the need to chase payments or wait for Direct Debits to hit your account.

It has been noted that 46% of small businesses claim the time associated with chasing invoices as having the most noticeable impact on their business, with 31% of businesses spending between 21-30 hours per month chasing customers.

Cashflow issues are the other major impact felt due to late payments, with 44% of businesses stating it as the most pressing issue. Small to medium-sized businesses are particularly concerned as it can have a massive impact on their ability to pay suppliers, and staff and is a huge threat to business planning. Over a quarter of SMEs have admitted to being owed between £5,000 – £20,000 in unpaid invoices.
