Frequently asked questions
What type of lending does IGF Invoice Finance specialize in?
IGF provides asset-based lending and invoice finance to UK SMEs, with facilities structured around trade debtors, inventory, plant, machinery, and property. The firm writes both disclosed invoice discounting and confidential invoice finance, depending on the borrower's relationship with its own debtors. Term loans secured on fixed assets sit alongside revolving debtor facilities, giving IGF a secured creditor position across multiple asset classes in most engagements.
What size of company does IGF typically lend to?
IGF targets owner-operated UK SMEs with turnover generally in the range of £500,000 to £10 million. The lower bound captures micro-enterprises transitioning from personal guarantee-only credit toward asset-backed facilities. The upper bound overlaps with the lower end of the mid-market, where companies begin to attract interest from bank corporate banking divisions and institutional direct lenders.
Is IGF Invoice Finance part of a larger banking or private equity group?
No. IGF operates as an independent non-bank lender without a parent bank, private equity sponsor, or institutional LP base. The firm's capital structure is proprietary and not publicly disclosed, which keeps credit decisions inside a single committee rather than subject to a parent institution's risk-appetite framework. This independence is material to its ability to write facilities on short timelines without group-level credit approval.
