Marmalade connects seamlessly with Xero and Quickbooks. Choose which invoices get paid early, any time before theyre due. Funds in your account within 24hrs of selecting an invoice for early payment. 100% of the invoice amount is paid out.
Eligible applicants must primarily invoice Australian businesses, offer net-terms and invoice more than $50,000 per month.
For every invoice you want paid early, Marmalade will transfer you 100% of the amount owed minus a one-off fee. The fee ranges from 3-5% and will vary across individual invoices.
At first, not every invoice will be eligible for early repayment, but that changes over time as you issue more invoices to customers using Marmalade and generally use the service in an effective way (such as by including Marmalade’s details on all of your customers’ invoices).
After 30 days, around 30% of your outstanding invoices will be eligible for early payment. This jumps up to 80% of invoices after 90 days of consistent invoicing and payments by your customers.
When it comes to retrieving funds, Marmalade will send regular statements to your customers reminding them of any outstanding payments (and contact them directly if they have been extremely late). Marmalade does not work with third parties or debt collection agencies.
The amount you’ll be charged for each invoice will vary depending on a few factors. These include, but are not limited to:
Your customer’s payment history
The invoice due date
Whether or not you are including Marmalade account details on all of your customers’ invoices
According to Marmalade, the size of the fees charged will drop over time as Marmalade gets to know your business and its customers better. Maintaining a line of communication with your customers and reminding them to pay any overdue invoices will also help raise their standing in Marmalade’s systems and reduce the fee.
Businesses will need to meet the following requirements to be eligible for Marmalade’s invoice finance facility:
You primarily invoice other Australian businesses (not consumers or individuals)
You have more than five regular customers that you invoice at least monthly
You consistently invoice more than $50,000 per month overall
Your maximum individual invoice size is $50,000
You provide net payments terms to customers up to but not exceeding 60 days
You use Xero or QuickBooks for your invoicing and have been doing so for at least 90 days
Your customers do not regularly make bulk payments for multiple invoices
Additionally, you must be prepared to switch to Marmalade as the exclusive payment method on all your invoices for all customers
According to Marmalade, the application process can be completed in as little as five minutes, and businesses can receive approval within 24 hours. Once it’s up and running, every new invoice will be assessed within minutes of being issued to determine if it’s eligible for early payment. If it is, it will show up in the early payment page of your Marmalade account almost immediately.
Marmalade offers one-click integration with Xero and QuickBooks, so you can minimise admin and keep track of incoming payments easily.
You’ll be able to select which invoices you want to cash-in (and leave the ones you expect to be settled quickly), and funds will be transferred within 24 hours. Marmalade will then take over collections on your behalf, as well as absorb the risk of non-payment, so you can focus on growing your business instead of chasing down overdue invoices
