Can Invoice Factoring Replace My Credit Controller?
Disclosed factoring effectively outsources credit control to the provider. Many businesses with turnover under £3m use this to avoid hiring a dedicated credit controller (£35,000-£50,000 fully loaded). Above £3m turnover, an in-house credit controller plus invoice discounting is usually cheaper and gives more control.
