Invoice finance in Sydney
Sydney has the deepest concentration of large corporate and government debtors in the country, which is exactly what invoice finance is built around. Contractors and suppliers billing head contractors, councils, universities and listed companies on 45 or 60-day terms can advance against those invoices on issue. Debtor quality drives the pricing, and a Sydney ledger full of established commercial names generally attracts better advance rates than a scattered small-business book.
Business finance in Sydney
Sydney is Australia’s largest business economy, dominated by financial and professional services in the CBD, technology and media through the inner suburbs, and a vast base of construction, logistics and light manufacturing spread across the west and south-west. Commercial rents and wage costs are the highest in the country, so businesses here carry more fixed overhead and feel payment delays faster than operators in smaller markets.
How we work with Sydney businesses
Lyft Money is a Sydney business. Our office is at Level 14, 3 Parramatta Square, and Anthony, Stefan and Kris regularly meet clients on site across the metropolitan area — at a yard, a workshop or a clinic rather than in a branch. Documents are handled online and settlements are arranged Australia-wide, so a Sydney client and a supplier in another state is routine.
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.
