Improve Cash Flow, Manage Financial Risk, and Deliver Projects

The rising cost of materials is another significant challenge facing the construction industry. This increase in cost has led to an increase in project costs, decreased profitability, and heightened financial risk for construction companies. As per a forecast by Turner & Townsend, the cost of construction materials is expected to rise by 25% to 28% in 2024, compared to the equivalent of 2020.

To tackle this issue, construction companies can consider utilising invoice financing as a solution. This financial instrument allows companies to receive advances on their outstanding invoices, eliminating the need to wait for payment from their customers. By utilising invoice financing, construction companies can not only improve their cash flow, but also increase their project completion rate and decrease their cost overruns, thereby mitigating financial risk.

Invoice financing can provide a number of benefits to the construction industry, including:

  1. Improved cash flow: By seeking financing on their unpaid invoices through a factoring service provider, sub-contractors can access early payment much sooner than they would if they had to wait for payment from their main contractors. This can help to improve their cash flow and give them more financial stability.
  2. Reduced financial risk: Invoice financing can help to reduce financial risk by providing sub-contractors and main contractors with a reliable source of funding. Invoice Financing Facility limits usually grow with the sales volume or contract of the business. This can help to reduce the risk of running out of funding availability or having to take on last minute debt to finance their operations.
  3. Improved main contractor and subcontractor relationships: Invoice financing can provide suppliers and subcontractors with early payment of their invoices, which can help to improve the relationships between main contractors and their suppliers and subcontractors. Furthermore, Invoice Financing Service Providers can work through the Main Contractor to provide early payments to their suppliers and subcontractors invoices (through buyer led arrangement). This can help to improve trust and cooperation between all parties involved in a construction project.

However, it's important to note that not all invoice financing companies specialise in the construction industry with many offering services to a wide range of businesses. This has, over time, arisen to the concerns of both the main contractors (buyers) and sub-contractors (suppliers) over invoice financing, such as the cost of financing, the perceived loss of control over the process of payment and the potential for negative impact on main contractor and subcontractor relationship.

When choosing an Invoice Financier, partner with a service provider that has experience working in the construction industry and understands the unique challenges and complexities of the sector. Alike to Hubble.Financial, a financial services division of Hubble with wealth of experience serving in the construction industry, understand the unique financial challenges faced by sub-contractors (supplier) in today’s business landscape of the construction industry.
