Types of business finance offered by ScotPac

Your business may be eligible for a number of ScotPac finance options, including the following:

• Invoice finance. This provides a line of credit that is linked to unpaid accounts receivable. It is available for businesses that issue invoices for delivered goods or services, and that have an annual turnover of more than $200,000.
• Selective invoice finance. This allows businesses to finance invoices on demand, with 95% of the value of the invoice paid within 24 hours. Unlike regular invoice finance, you can choose which invoices you wish to fund, with no lock-ins.
• Trade finance. This provides working capital for international imports and exports. For importers, it provides funds to cover the purchase of goods, while allowing time for them to be received and sold. For exporters, it is used as capital until payment is received from the overseas customer for the goods or services provided.
• Cashline. An alternative to a business overdraft, Cashline provides a confidential line of credit of 70% of outstanding accounts receivable, up to a limit of $500,000.

Frequently asked questions

• What are ScotPac's main finance products?

  ScotPac is a non-bank lender specialising in business finance. Their core products include invoice finance (factoring), asset and equipment finance, and trade finance. They are known for creating flexible solutions for businesses that don't fit the rigid criteria of major banks.

• Is ScotPac a good option for a business with bad credit?

  ScotPac can often be a good option for businesses with imperfect credit. For invoice finance, they focus more on the quality of your customers' ability to pay than your own credit score. For asset finance, the loan is secured by the equipment itself, reducing the lender's risk.

• Does ScotPac require property security?

  Not always. A key benefit of their invoice and asset finance products is that the security is tied to the business assets (invoices or equipment), not necessarily the owner's personal property. This allows business owners to access funding without putting their family home on the line.

• How fast can ScotPac approve and fund a loan?

  As a specialist lender, their processes are significantly faster than traditional banks. For many of their products, conditional approval can be granted within 24-48 hours, with funding following shortly after all documentation is in place.

• Can ScotPac finance my whole supply chain?

  Yes, through a combination of their products, they can fund a business's entire working capital cycle. They can provide trade finance to pay overseas suppliers, invoice finance to get cash from customer invoices, and asset finance to buy the machinery needed for production.
