Invoice Finance with Bad Debt Protection & Personal Guarantee Insurance

Late payments hurt. But bad debts — when a customer never pays — can sink a business. Add to that the risk of signing a personal guarantee, and the pressure on directors can be overwhelming.

That’s why smart SMEs combine:

• Invoice Finance → fast access to up to 90% of invoice value in 24 hours

• Bad Debt Protection → cover if a customer becomes insolvent or defaults

• Personal Guarantee Insurance (PGI) → protect directors’ homes and savings if guarantees are called in

At Go-Business Finance, we bring all three together. You get cash flow, security, and peace of mind — all arranged by an NACFB award-winning broker with access to 130+ funders.

What Is Bad Debt Protection (Non-Recourse Invoice Finance)?

Bad debt protection, sometimes called invoice protection or non-recourse factoring, adds insurance to your invoice finance facility.

It means:

• If a customer fails, you’re still paid

• Cash flow stays safe even in insolvency situations

• You can trade with larger or riskier clients confidently

• Protection is flexible — cover your whole ledger or just certain accounts

In short: invoice finance gives you the cash today, bad debt protection makes sure you keep it tomorrow.

Why Add Bad Debt Protection to Invoice Finance?

Together, they deliver both speed and safety:

• Cash in 24 hours – up to 90% of invoice value unlocked quickly

• Protection against customer failure – the risk is transferred to the funder

• Confidence to scale – take on bigger clients without fear of one default

• Tailored solutions – full ledger or selective cover, depending on your needs

Personal Guarantee Insurance – Protecting Directors Too

Many lenders — including invoice finance providers — ask directors to sign a personal guarantee. This can put your home and savings at risk if the facility goes wrong.

Personal Guarantee Insurance (PGI) protects you by covering a large portion of that liability.

Why directors use PGI:

• Safeguard personal assets – protect against guarantee enforcement

• Fund growth confidently – sign facilities knowing you’re covered

• Flexible cover – PGI applies to invoice finance, asset finance, business loans, and more

• Peace of mind – directors focus on growth, not personal risk

With Go-Business Finance, your business is protected and so are you.

FAQs – Invoice Finance, Bad Debt Protection & Personal Guarantee Insurance 

Q: What’s the difference between invoice finance and bad debt protection?
A: Invoice finance unlocks cash tied up in invoices, improving cash flow immediately. Bad debt protection ensures you’re still paid if a customer becomes insolvent or defaults.

Q: Do I have to protect every invoice?
A: No — you can protect your entire ledger or just your riskiest customers.

Q: Why would I need personal guarantee insurance?
A: PGI reduces your personal risk. If a guarantee is called, PGI covers a significant percentage, protecting your home and savings.

Q: Can start-ups use these solutions?
A: Yes — many new recruitment, logistics, and service firms use invoice finance with bad debt protection (and PGI if required) from day one to build safe, scalable growth.
