When Selective Makes Sense
Selective invoice finance is ideal if your turnover is below £50k, you only need occasional funding, or you want to test invoice finance before committing to a whole-turnover facility. You pick which invoices to fund, pay only when you use it, and there's no long-term contract. The per-invoice cost is higher (1-3% vs 0.5-1.5%), but the total cost can be lower if you only fund a few invoices per month.
Growing Into Whole-Turnover
Many businesses start with selective factoring and graduate to a whole-turnover facility once their revenue grows past £50,000. At that point, the per-invoice cost drops significantly (0.5-1.5% vs 1-3%), and you get access to dedicated account management, bad debt protection, and credit control support. Start small, prove the model works, then scale up.
If you're close to the £50k threshold, speak to Bibby, Ultimate Finance, or IGF - they may offer flexible entry terms to onboard you before you hit the minimum.
