NHS Payment Certainty Fund (Receivables Financing Service)

A specialized receivables financing service that advances 80-90% of confirmed NHS contract invoices within 48 hours, at a transparent fixed fee (2-3% of invoice value). Providers submit invoices with NHS contract proof; the service handles verification, advances cash immediately, then collects from NHS on standard terms (30-60 days). Providers get predictable cash flow; the financier captures the spread between advance cost and NHS payment timing.

Original Problem

Emergency service providers struggle with chronic late payments from NHS contracts

Ambulance services and emergency healthcare providers face severe cash flow crises due to delayed payments from NHS contracts, forcing operational disruptions and staff compensation issues. Current payment systems lack transparency and enforcement mechanisms, leaving providers unable to predict cash availability or plan budgets effectively. This creates a cascading crisis affecting service delivery, employee morale, and organizational stability.
