Who We Are
Accelerated Payments was created by entrepreneurs with many years’ experience in financial services as well as starting and running their own businesses. Entrepreneurs like you, who know just how important certain individual invoices can be to a business.
We know the highs and lows of dreaming up and starting a new business that offers something better, something special, something individual. To bring it from zero sales and one employee to a stage where it has employees, customers, sales – and prospects.
And we know what it’s like when you’ve invested everything you have in the business, when so much can hang on certain customers taking longer than agreed on vital payments.
We also know how frustrating and restrictive it can be when your bank either isn’t interested in working with you – or wants personal guarantees where they shouldn’t need them.
So we decided to set up Accelerated Payments to solve the particular cash flow hurdle that you face right now, through our innovative Individual Invoice Finance service.
Because we know what it’s like.

We believe in simplicity & clarity.
Business owners need cash, and they need it when they need it. They’re busy building their business: they don’t have time for complicated application and approval systems – and can’t afford expensive credit or financing arrangements that last longer than they need. And they certainly don’t want to hear they can’t get Invoice Finance because they “don’t qualify.”
We believe our customers have done the hard part. They’ve got the sale, provided the goods or service – and issued the invoice.
We take it from there
Our service combines the best technology platform with a simple User Interface, as well as immediate access to business intelligence to allow us to assess risks – and offers customers the simplest, quickest application, approval and payment process there is.

We take a different approach to funding our clients
We recognise that small and medium enterprises typically supply creditworthy brands. That’s where we focus our efforts – who are you doing business with and can we credit insure those transactions. If we can, then you can get early payment for those invoices that you choose to fund.
We don’t require a credit assessment of your business, nor do we ask for personal guarantees or a lien on your assets. We’re not adding to your debt. We credit insure your customer so those invoices that we fund are guaranteed for payment.
It’s a fast, simple process.
It’s a good option for you to get control of cash flow and have the working capital needed to grow your business.
