The Cashflow Challenge in the Printing Industry

Running a printing business comes with significant upfront costs - materials, ink, paper, machinery maintenance, and wages - all needing payment before you get paid by customers. However, long payment terms of 30, 90, or even 120 days can put a strain on cashflow, making it difficult to cover expenses or take on new jobs.


This is where invoice finance for printers becomes a game-changer. Instead of waiting for customer payments, you can access cash tied up in unpaid invoices, keeping your business running smoothly.

Invoice Finance for Printers: Keep Cash Flowing, Keep Printing


How Invoice Finance Works for Printing Companies

Invoice finance allows you to receive up to 90% of your invoice value upfront, sometimes even more, with the remaining balance (minus fees) released once your customer pays. This means no more waiting for payments - you get the working capital you need as soon as you’ve completed a job.


Key Benefits of Invoice Finance for Printers

✅ Steady Cashflow – Cover essential costs like ink, paper, and machine maintenance without delays.

✅ Take on More Work – With reliable cashflow, you can accept larger print orders and scale your operations.

✅ Pay Suppliers on Time – Avoid supply chain disruptions and maintain strong supplier relationships.

✅ Invest in Growth – Upgrade your equipment, hire more staff, or expand your services with confidence.

✅ No More Chasing Payments – With invoice factoring, the lender handles collections, saving you time.


 

Invoice Factoring vs. Invoice Discounting for Printers

Both options provide cash advances, but the difference is in who manages collections:


  • Invoice Factoring – The finance provider collects payments on your behalf, reducing admin work.

  • Invoice Discounting – You stay in control of customer payments while accessing an advance.
