Receivables financing allows a club to accelerate the receipt of future cash receivables. Given the seasonal aspect to the cash flows of football clubs, this type of financing can provide significant cashflow benefits and lessen a club’s reliance on overdraft facilities and bank borrowing. Further, unlike bank debt, receivables financing is not a liability on the company’s balance sheet and thus helps a club to achieve a better result in its annual break even calculations for the purposes of the UEFA Fair Play Regulations.
The use of receivables funding is a rapidly increasing secure source of Finance for Sport Clubs.
