Invoice Finance Solutions

Introduction

At ifcompare, a solution of futuremap, we ask a simple but often overlooked question:

When did you last review your funder?

Many businesses with an invoice finance facility go through annual reviews — but these meetings are typically led by the lender, following their agenda. This means the focus is often on your business, not the facility itself.

As your company grows, your financial needs change, but many businesses remain on outdated fee structures and terms that no longer serve them. Our mission is to ensure your facility is as dynamic as your business, providing the best possible terms and fees that evolve with you.

Fees

Step 1: Complimentary Initial Consultation

We start by conducting an initial online meeting where we discuss your existing invoice finance facility in detail, as well as your future business plans.

This meeting ensures we fully understand your current financial arrangement and any changes in your business.

Step 2: Proposal Creation

If we feel that ifcompare can assist you, we will create and provide a tailored proposal.

This proposal outlines how we can help optimise your facility, ensuring it's fit for purpose and aligned with your business's growth and desired requirements.

Powered by futuremap's proprietary tools, we analyse your current facility in detail. We look for inefficiencies, areas where you're overpaying, or terms that are misaligned with your business goals.

Our deep dive ensures we catch everything that matters. Following our analysis, we provide insights into how your facility can be improved.

We then present clear, actionable recommendations based on your specific business needs.

Step 3: Analysis Market Research

At this stage, we will obtain indicative terms from alternative funders who can truly match your key requirements.

We will then present you with a summary of the terms, at which stage, you will choose the funder or funders from who you wish to obtain a formal offer.

Whether you move to a new funder or stay with your existing relationship, a formal offer will be required, for you to seriously engage with your current funder. We will be there to guide you through the whole process.

Step 4: Decision Stage

After securing fully underwritten, favourable terms from a new funder, or renegotiating acceptable terms with your existing relationship, the choice will be yours whether you stay or move.

Although with support and guidance from us, you remain in control of the final decision.

Why It's Important

Avoid Common Pitfalls

The invoice finance industry can be complex, and many businesses end up locked into contracts that don't evolve with their needs. From hidden fees to outdated terms, it's easy for things to go wrong without you even knowing.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Staying in an unsuitable facility can be costly—draining your business of much-needed cash flow. Our service ensures that you’re not leaving money on the table and that your facility is actively supporting your growth.

Our Mission

At ifcompare, a solution of futuremap, we are committed to ensuring that businesses aren't just reviewed by their funders, but are also empowered to review their funders.

Many businesses undergo lender-led reviews that focus on the company's performance, while the facility itself often remains unchanged—even as the business grows.

Our mission is to flip the script: we put your facility under the microscope to ensure it's keeping pace with your business. By combining expert insights with cutting-edge analysis, we help you secure the best terms, optimise your cash flow, and avoid outdated fees that no longer reflect your needs.

Our Team

The ifcompare team is made up of experts who have all spent many years working within the invoice finance industry before joining us. With deep knowledge of the sector, they understand the hidden traps and unforeseen challenges businesses often face when managing an invoice finance facility.

Importantly, our team shares a common belief: there's a better way to approach invoice finance. We know that loyalty to a funder doesn't always equate to fairness. That's why we're dedicated to providing businesses with unbiased, expert-driven insights to ensure they're getting the best possible deal and terms that match their growth.

FAQ

1

How do I know if my current invoice finance facility is right for my business?

If you've been with the same provider for a while, it's possible that your terms are no longer aligned with your growth. We help assess if your facility is still fit for your business's needs

2

What kinds of fees can you help identify?

Invoice finance arrangements often come with service fees, admin costs, and other hidden charges. Our process identifies areas where you may be overpaying.

3

How long does the assessment take?

Our initial process is swift—usually just a few days. After that, we provide you with clear, actionable recommendations.

4

Can you help me switch providers if needed?

Absolutely. If we find that another provider would better suit your business, we make the transition process smooth and simple.

5

What fees do you charge?

We charge two fees during the process; £595 to carry out all the work from our initial meeting, through to your decision to either move funders or stay where you are. We then charge a percentage of the facility/funding limit, based on the final terms of the funder you choose. Clear, transparent and fair.

How is IFCompare different from a commercial broker?

At IFCompare, we focus on what's best for your business — whether that means staying with your current lender or switching to a new one. Unlike commercial brokers, who often only earn when you move lenders, we provide impartial advice. Our goal is to ensure your facility is optimised for your needs, regardless of the outcome.
