BAD DEBT PROTECTION

When your customers can't pay, we will

Each year, 50,000 small businesses go bankrupt due to late or non-payment from their customers.

It’s a real risk to your business. That’s why we offer Bad Debt Protection, a way for you to still get your invoices paid, even if your customers don’t pay.

What is Bad Debt Protection?

Bad Debt Protection (BDP) is a service add-on that works alongside your existing invoice finance facility. In the event that one of your customers can’t pay their invoice, BDP allows you to still receive up to 90% of the invoice value. This protects your business against the financial loss you’d experience from such an event.

Here’s a story to highlight in practice: One of our clients had a long-standing customer who suddenly went bust, leaving £50,000 in unpaid invoices owed to our client.

Usually, this loss would need to be absorbed by the business, which puts them under serious financial pressure. But with a small fee of just 1% of the invoice value, they can protect themselves from this risk and still receive up to 90% of the invoice value, cutting the loss to just £5,000.
