Invoice financing is a financial arrangement where a business sells its accounts receivable (invoices) to a third party (factor) at a discount in exchange for immediate cash. This enables businesses to improve cash flow, pay employees, and reinvest in operations and growth earlier than they could if they had to wait for customers to pay their invoices.
