tailor your working capital requirements with Invoice Finance in Sheffield
Strong cash flow management is crucial for maintaining the health and growth of any business. Invoice Finance is a powerful solution for businesses to unlock funds tied up in unpaid invoices, providing immediate liquidity to support working capital and maximise growth opportunities.
This solution can be used to support growth, business acquisitions, shareholder changes such as MBO’s or MBI’s, or general day-to-day working capital. Rather than wait 60-90 days for payment, invoices are funded once the transaction is complete, or service provided. Whole turnover or spot facilities (select specific invoices or customers for funding) can be arranged.

Case Study
A telecoms infrastructure installation business (think fibre optic etc.) based near Sheffield.
Due to growing pains and debtors imposing extended credit terms to 30 days end-of month, this created cash flow pressure as subbies are paid fortnightly and payroll is monthly.
Adam Cooksley, Navigate’s Business Development Director, has been working with Sheffield businesses to help accelerate their growth and so he quickly got to work understanding the business and developing a feel for which of our panel of lenders would be most suitable.
Invoice Finance from Lloyds Bank was considered the most suitable funding solution to resolve the working capital pressure as rather than wait up to 60-days for payment, on completion of the work the invoice can be funded resulting in subbies and employees being paid on time.
Whilst the sales ledger was concentrated to just few debtors, they were all creditworthy, supported by clear and robust audit trails.
With several profitable years behind them and a strengthening balance sheet, this was considered a bankable opportunity.
The bank lender secured was comfortable with both the concentrated ledger and the nuances of light construction so were able to price sensitively and move at pace to ensure subbies and month-end payroll were met.
A tailored facility that provides the headroom needed for the business to keep growing with confidence despite customers imposing extended payment terms.

Sheffield Business Landscape
Sheffield is the primary commercial anchor of South Yorkshire, generating over £19 billion in Gross Value Added (GVA) and supporting roughly 240,000 workplace jobs. Building on its world-renowned heritage in steelmaking and heavy metallurgy, the city’s economy operates on a modern “Advanced Manufacturing and Digital Innovation” dual engine. Key assets like the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District (AMID)—home to global aerospace and engineering powerhouses Boeing and Rolls-Royce—are complemented by a rapidly growing digital, health tech, and professional services sector.
Future economic growth is driven by massive urban transformation projects, including the £470m Heart of the City II regeneration scheme and extensive redevelopments across the West Bar business district. Supported by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority and two world-class research universities, expanding local supply chains face growing demand for flexible cash flow management, working capital, and Invoice Finance solutions to capture new contracts and navigate commercial scaling.
