What lenders look for.

The specifics that make or break a facility in this sector.

Service sign-off verification

Cleaning, FM and security invoices are billed monthly in arrears once the service is delivered. Lenders may verify the work was signed off, so clean timesheets, site logs and contract records speed up every drawdown.

Winning a big contract tightens cash

A large new site means weeks of payroll before the first invoice is even paid. The facility scales with the new invoices, turning a cash squeeze into funded growth rather than a crisis.

TUPE and payroll spikes

When a contract transfers, staff often move across under TUPE and the wage bill jumps overnight. Funding against the incoming contract invoices absorbs that spike so the transfer does not strain the bank.

Debtor concentration on key sites

A few large sites or a single managing agent can dominate the ledger. A concentration limit may apply, but specialist lenders will stretch it where the contracts are strong and long term.
