Capitalise vs MarketInvoice
Capitalise.com and MarketInvoice work in different ways. Capitalise is a funding platform and broker. Accountants use it to submit clients to its panel of lenders. MarketInvoice is a comparison site run by Best Business Loans Ltd. It is not a lender and does not have a panel of lenders. We review and compare UK invoice finance providers, and you can go to any of them direct. If you ask us for quotes, our introduction partner, a UK invoice finance provider, handles your enquiry and comes back to you with quotes. The choice usually comes down to whether your accountant already uses Capitalise, or whether you want to compare providers yourself.

When Capitalise wins
Your accountant already uses Capitalise. Accountancy firms that use Capitalise can put you forward to its lenders for you. If your accountant uses it and recommends it, it may be the easiest way in.
You want more than invoice finance. Capitalise also arranges loans and asset finance, and adds debtor monitoring and company credit tools. If you are not sure invoice finance is the right product, that wider range can help. (MarketInvoice covers invoice finance only. Our sister site FundBiz covers other kinds of business finance.)
When MarketInvoice can help
You want to compare invoice finance yourself, without going through your accountant. You can read our provider reviews and go to any lender direct. Or you can get 3 free quotes: our introduction partner, a UK invoice finance provider, handles your enquiry and comes back to you with quotes.
You want to read comparisons before you contact anyone. MarketInvoice publishes provider reviews, /best/ pages, /vs/ pages and /compare/ pages that you can read before you submit anything. Our editorial policy explains how we write them.
You want to skip the accountant step. You fill in the form yourself, with no advisor in the loop. Capitalise usually works through your accountant, so the timing depends partly on them.
Note on the "MarketInvoice" name
