  • In all cases, except invoice discounting, our team will provide you with what is referred to as a notice of assignment.

We may also issue direct notices of assignment whether we agree to fund invoices which you have delivered before the commencement of the invoice facility.

  • Yes. Muse Finance will assess what level of security is required as part of the Onboarding. This may include a Debenture and a Personal Guarantee.
