Satago Business Loans & Finance
Invoice finance
Satago invoice finance can be accessed through its online tool – Satago Connect. You can upload your open invoices instantly and see how much credit your business can access on the simple dashboard. Choose an invoice to finance, sign the credit agreement online, and you’ll receive 85% of the invoice value upfront. Your client or customer will pay the invoice directly to Satago who will then send you the remaining amount minus their fee.
They offer a choice of single invoice or full invoice finance. Single invoice finance allows you to choose which invoices and there is no contract just pricing per invoice, this is a disclosed service so your customer will be aware of their involvement. Full invoice finance funds all invoices and is a confidential service on a minimum 12 month contract.
To be eligible for full invoice finance, your business must have been trading for at least 1 year and have a turnover above £400,000 and require a facility of £100,000. For single invoice finance, you need an annual turnover of at least £100,000 and have been trading for at least 6 months and need finance from £5,000.
The Satago platform also includes credit check and credit control tools, so you can check and manage your customer and clients’ creditworthiness.
