Invoice Finance Stockport

Release cash tied up in unpaid invoices and create more room to pay staff, purchase materials, fund contracts and support growth.

Invoice finance for Stockport businesses

Invoice finance can provide earlier access to money represented by eligible business-to-business invoices. Shadowfax Funding Solutions helps businesses compare factoring, invoice discounting and other suitable working-capital facilities across the market.

For companies trading on commercial credit terms, successful growth can create pressure when payroll, suppliers and tax commitments fall due before customers pay.

Local business context

Why Stockport businesses use invoice finance

Stockport has a diverse economy with significant activity in professional, scientific and technical services, health and social work, administrative and support services, wholesale and retail, and manufacturing.

The borough also identifies business, financial and professional services, digital activity and construction as growth sectors. This creates a broad market of advisers, technology businesses, contractors, manufacturers, recruiters, wholesalers and support companies.

Stockport's position within Greater Manchester gives businesses access to customers and supply chains across Manchester, Cheshire and the wider North West. Commercial areas in and around the town centre, Cheadle, Bredbury, Hazel Grove, Bramhall and Marple support companies of many sizes.

These businesses may need to fund wages, stock, software, materials, vehicles or subcontractors before commercial customers settle invoices. Invoice finance can release working capital from eligible debts and can grow alongside qualifying turnover.
