Comparison Between Sources Of Funding Support

Most businesses get funding help, about which invoice finance provider to use, from their bank or their accountant. However, this can be very limited, and far from independent in some cases. We have put together the following comparison of sources of funding support to show you how these options compare with our support service at FundInvoice. This comparison draws on our accountants research where we interviewed over 70 accountants about their connections with invoice financiers and their approach to introducing clients to funders.
