Invoice finance in Gold Coast
Invoice finance works on the Gold Coast for the business-to-business side of the economy rather than the tourist-facing one: construction subcontractors billing developers and builders, and suppliers servicing hotels, venues and body corporates on 30 to 45-day terms. Restaurants and retailers paid at the till have nothing to advance against and are better served by a working capital facility sized to their card takings.
Business finance in Gold Coast
The Gold Coast economy runs on tourism, hospitality and construction. Hotels, restaurants and attractions drive a highly seasonal services sector, while sustained population growth and high-rise residential development keep builders, trades and civil contractors busy. Health, education and a growing professional services base around Southport, Robina and Varsity Lakes have broadened the economy well beyond its traditional tourism dependence, though the seasonal shape of trade still runs through most local businesses.
How we work with Gold Coast businesses
Lyft Money works with Gold Coast businesses by phone and video, with documents handled online and settlements arranged Australia-wide. Anthony, Stefan and Kris are based at Level 14, 3 Parramatta Square in Sydney, and Gold Coast clients deal with the same broker throughout rather than a call centre — including for equipment bought from interstate suppliers.
What is a invoice finance?
Invoice finance is funding advanced against eligible unpaid business invoices, typically 70–90% of the invoice value upfront with the balance (less fees) paid when your customer pays. It uses your receivables as security rather than property.

Key terms
What is invoice finance?
Invoice finance (also called debtor finance or receivables finance) advances a percentage of an unpaid invoice’s value now, with the remainder paid when the customer settles, minus the financier’s fees.
Invoice finance vs invoice factoring
Factoring sells the invoice to the financier who collects from your customer; invoice discounting keeps collections with you and is usually confidential. Both are forms of invoice finance.
