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.
