Changing Your Invoice Finance Provider

Considering a switch in your invoice finance provider? This essential guide is designed to help you understand the nuances of UCCs, streamline the transition process, and identify critical questions for selecting your next financial partner.

Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Explained

The UCC filing is a vital tool for invoice finance companies to safeguard their interests:

  • It records asset rights.
  • Notifies other lenders about your existing financial commitments.
  • Assures that your finance company has priority over your invoices, similar to property mortgages or vehicle titles.

Transitioning Between Providers

Moving to a new provider involves a "buyout" - a process where your new financier settles the balance with the old one, much like mortgage refinancing. This is formalized through a Buyout Agreement.

Calculating the Buyout Amount

The buyout sum usually consists of your unpaid invoices minus reserves, plus additional fees from your previous financier. It's crucial to ask for a comprehensive breakdown to fully understand any extra charges or termination fees.

Cost Implications of a Buyout

The transition can be cost-effective if you use fresh invoices for the new financier. But be aware, using previously financed invoices could lead to duplicate fees. While some financiers may offer discounts, timely communication with your former provider is essential to avoid extra costs.

Time Considerations

Changing providers might extend the usual timeframe due to the intricacies of buyout calculations and required approvals. The buyout amount can fluctuate based on accumulating fees and ongoing payments. A seasoned financier can help expedite this process.

Complex Scenarios

In some instances, both your previous and new financiers might temporarily share rights to your invoices until all balances are cleared, though this is not commonly practiced.

Questions to Ponder Before Committing

  • Is simultaneous collaboration with multiple invoice finance companies possible?
  • What are the terms for changing providers, including any penalties?
  • How does the new provider handle transaction processing and duration?
  • What is the structure of communication with the finance company?
  • Are there responsibilities for mailing costs of invoices?
  • Does the provider charge extra for credit checks or new client setups?
  • At what point does the provider start withholding reserves?
