Introduction

Invoices are the formal records of commercial activity: they document what was sold, when, in what quantity, and at what price, and they establish legally binding payment terms. Businesses track accounts receivable (what customers owe) and accounts payable (what the business owes suppliers) through these records.

Businesses issue invoices in different forms depending on the transaction: standard, commercial, proforma, recurring, or VAT. All require a unique invoice number, dates, pricing, taxes, and payment terms. Businesses use invoices to accelerate collections, reconcile sales, and resolve disputes.

Traditional invoice finance gives businesses working capital before customers pay. A lender advances 80–90% of an invoice, collects payment later, and returns the balance minus fees. Lenders structure this as invoice factoring, where the lender collects, or invoice discounting, where the business collects.
