Demand for invoice discounting and factoring on domestic and export invoices has continued to grow at inflation beating rates over the last several years as other forms of finance from traditional banks have failed to materialise for many borrowers. However, the market remains extremely competitive with high street banks, independent funders and sector specialists contending for business.

This competition has inevitably kept pressure on margins in an industry which has always operated at the riskier end of the finance spectrum. The challenge for the finance and administration functions in the industry has been to deliver the increased risk monitoring and control required for this business; while reducing headcount and increasing the speed and efficiency of processing.
