FAQs

Need more information about AFinance? If your question isn’t answered here, drop us a line and let’s chat.

Am I eligible for AFinance?

We work with workforce companies in Australia and New Zealand; from startups to mature businesses. We work with both temporary and permanent recruitment agencies.

What does AFinance cost?

There are a range of pricing models available to help meet your individual requirements.

We can charge a single fee as a percentage of your invoice so that you know your costs upfront and impact on your gross margin, or we can provide a Line of Credit where you pay for the funds you draw.

There are three main factors that determine the fees we charge, and once we know this information, we can set a fee relevant to your needs:

  • The type of timesheet and invoicing system you have in place to manage payroll and invoicing
  • The credit quality of your customers
  • Your customer payment terms

For our Line of Credit pricing we align our charge rate to a variable base rate:

  • Australian Base Rate: 9.78% as at 11.01.2024
  • New Zealand Base Rate: 11.21% as at 14.06.2023

These are base rates only. In addition, a margin rate may apply as separately disclosed to you. These rates may change from time to time.

What is the advance rate?

We advance up to 90% of the value of your invoices.

How quickly can I get funded?

It is possible to get you set-up and drawing on funds within 48 hours, subject to the completion of the application process, delivery of all necessary information and credit approval.

How do I draw funds?

Funding can be automated or you can log in to your finance portal to draw on funds. Your balance is repaid as your clients pay their invoices.

Will my customers know I'm using AFinance?

The majority of our AFinance facilities are disclosed meaning that your customers are aware, however, there is an option to have a confidential facility if you meet certain eligibility requirements.

Will I need to sell my invoices to APositive?

No, they remain your invoices. We simply leverage the value of those invoices to provide you access to cash flow. Collecting payments and managing customer relationships remain your responsibility.

Can I fund permanent placement invoices?

Yes, you can fund permanent recruitment invoices via your AFinance facility. Alternatively, we have a Recruit Now, Pay Later product, APay which allows employers to pay recruitment fees in 3-6 month instalments.

APositive gives me the confidence to be able to go out to market and look at new solutions, new markets to penetrate & new revenue streams.
