What selective invoice finance means
Selective invoice finance, sometimes called single invoice finance or spot factoring, is usually focused on particular invoices, customers or transactions.
It may be useful where a business has a large invoice, a specific cash-flow gap or does not want a whole-turnover facility.
What lenders may review
Lenders may look at the invoice value, debtor quality, customer confirmation, payment terms, disputes, delivery evidence and the wider business position.
A strong customer and clean evidence can make the enquiry easier, but criteria vary by lender.
When a full facility may fit better
If the business regularly needs cash from its debtor book, a full invoice finance facility may be more efficient than funding single invoices repeatedly.
How Jolt makes the next step easier
You do not need to know the perfect lender before making an enquiry. Jolt looks at the purpose, timing and evidence, then helps aim the case at a realistic funding route.
Start with the amount, what the money is for and how quickly it is needed. If the route is not obvious, Jolt can still review the enquiry and explain the clearest next step.
Selective invoice finance FAQs
Is selective invoice finance the same as factoring?
It can be a form of invoice finance, but it is usually focused on selected invoices rather than the whole debtor book.
Can one large invoice be funded?
Some lenders may consider it where the invoice, customer and evidence are strong enough. The debtor book, customer quality, payment terms, disputes and invoice evidence normally shape whether invoice finance is realistic.
Will the customer be contacted?
That depends on the lender and structure. Customer confirmation is common for some facilities. The practical answer depends on the funding purpose, timing, affordability, supporting evidence and lender appetite.
What documents help?
The invoice, delivery evidence, customer terms, bank statements and company information are useful. It also helps to explain the amount needed, what the funding will do, how quickly it is needed and how repayments or the exit route are expected to work.
