Can an IT consultancy or managed service provider use invoice finance?
IT consultancies can use invoice finance, though lenders will look carefully at the nature of the debt. Project-based invoices tied to clear deliverables are more straightforward to fund than those linked to ongoing support contracts billed in advance. Lenders may exclude invoices where the service has not yet been fully rendered, so it is worth confirming which invoice types are eligible before signing a facility agreement.
