Market Invoice is an independent UK invoice finance comparison site that ranks 89 UK invoice finance providers.

UK SaaS businesses have two practical receivables finance routes. Specialist recurring revenue lenders (Pipe, Capchase, Re:cap, Karmen, Founderpath) advance up to 12 months of MRR upfront against future subscription revenue, repaid as those subscriptions invoice and clear, with effective cost 8 to 18 percent annualised. Traditional invoice finance (Bibby, Aldermore, Hydr, Kriya) applies to annual upfront-billed enterprise contracts at standard 80 to 90 percent advance and 0.5 to 2 percent fees. The two products fund opposite ends of the SaaS revenue stack: recurring revenue lenders for monthly/annual subscription cohorts, invoice finance for one-off large enterprise prepay invoices.

SaaS Receivables Finance UK FAQ

Can SaaS businesses get invoice finance UK?

Yes for annual prepay enterprise invoices (which are standard B2B invoices). Standard 80-90% advance and 0.5-2% fees apply. For ongoing monthly subscription revenue, the right product is recurring revenue finance from specialist lenders (Pipe, Capchase, Re:cap, Karmen) rather than traditional invoice finance.

What is recurring revenue finance for SaaS?

Specialist lenders (Pipe, Capchase, Re:cap, Karmen, Founderpath) advance up to 12 months of MRR upfront against future subscription revenue. Effective cost 8-18% annualised, depending on cohort quality and growth. Repaid as subscriptions invoice and clear. Built specifically for SaaS, dramatically faster decisioning than equity rounds, no dilution. Available to UK and EU SaaS businesses with £20k+ MRR.

Pipe vs Capchase vs Re:cap vs Karmen for UK SaaS?

Pipe: pioneered the category, marketplace model, sometimes higher cost but faster. Capchase: balance sheet lender, more underwriting, slightly cheaper. Re:cap: European focus, strong DACH presence, integrated with Stripe Billing. Karmen: French/UK focus, includes growth capital alongside RBF. Founderpath: bootstrapper-focused, integrates with Stripe and ChartMogul. Get quotes from at least 2 because pricing varies materially by cohort quality and growth.

Annual prepay enterprise SaaS contract invoice finance?

Standard invoice finance applies. A £100k annual prepay invoice for a 12-month enterprise contract is standard B2B invoicing and funds at 80-90% advance and 0.5-2% fees. Hydr, Kriya, Triver suit selective single-invoice financing. Bibby and Aldermore for whole-book facilities on multiple enterprise contracts.

Combining recurring revenue finance with invoice finance?

Common stack: recurring revenue finance (Pipe/Capchase) for monthly subscription cohorts plus selective invoice finance (Hydr/Kriya) for one-off large annual enterprise prepay invoices. The two products fund non-overlapping revenue streams so don't conflict. Coordinate covenants with both providers but in practice they coexist well.

Cost comparison: SaaS RBF vs traditional invoice finance UK?

RBF for monthly MRR cohorts: 8-18% annualised effective cost, weighted to cohort quality. Traditional invoice finance for annual prepay invoices: 6-12% annualised effective cost (0.5-2% fee per invoice plus discount charge). Net of cohort and contract specifics, traditional invoice finance is usually cheaper per pound of revenue financed but only applies where invoices exist.
