Using this service means that when a company invoices their customer, up to 90% of the approved invoice total is immediately advanced by SFS, with the remaining 10% paid once their customer settles the balance.

This provides the company with essential working capital so it can then invest in expanding its business without having to wait for bills to be paid.

Leaney said: “In the Siemens context, invoice finance sits within a whole range of working capital management tools that are critical for smart and agile businesses – especially in the current climate.”

“It’s been very tough for businesses over the last couple of months and I look forward to helping support them as we come out the other side of this.”

Simon Penn, head of UK sales, invoice finance & extended payment terms, said: “Graham’s extensive experience in the invoice finance sector will be a valuable asset to our team.

“His appointment demonstrates our uninterrupted commitment to the market, even in times of uncertainty, and I look forward to seeing him help businesses in the south continue to grow.”
