Factoring in the UK - Industry Market Research Report


Factoring in the UK

The high uptake in funds received by SMEs heavily supported factoring companies leading up to the pandemic. However, after COVID-19 struck, the government's heavy backing of conventional lending hit demand for factoring companies; that's not to say the government doesn't support factoring, since the British Business Banks provide guarantees to cover a portion of credit losses for designated lending portfolios. Over the five years through 2022-23, factoring companies' revenue is forecast to increase at a compound annual rate of just 0.2% to £3.3 billion.

Firms in this industry specialise in short-term debt financing and invoice discounting. Factoring involves a company selling its accounts’ receivables or invoices to a third party as a means of accessing cash to finance further business activity without having to wait for their debtors to pay them. Factoring companies generate revenue through factor fees, or the difference between the price paid for the invoice and money received from debtors.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
