What Is Invoice Discounting?
Invoice Discounting is a flexible funding solution that allows your business to access funds tied up in unpaid invoices. Instead of waiting 30, 60, or 90 days for your clients to pay, Merchant West provides upfront financing based on the value of your debtor book.
This form of working capital finance helps South African SMEs manage cash flow more effectively, giving you the liquidity to seize new opportunities and meet day-to-day obligations.
