Creative and efficient

Just come onboard with Penny, referred through my broker.
I required quite a complicated international facility (including elements like fx and withholding tax) and needed a creative finance house to understand all this and be able to work with it. Nick was really flexible in his approach and adapted Penny's process to provide a clever bespoke solution.
Ollie operationalised the process very quickly and his service was second-to-none, staying at work late just to get my first submission over the line.
So far, excellent!

Absolutely fantastic service overall with Penny.

We have been working with Penny for over a year now and the communication, service, and responses have been excellent. Alice and the team have been great with handling queries, and keeping us updated every step of the way, Alice is an absolute asset to the company.

Fantastic service

From the onboarding procedure through to the straight forward easy to use platform.

There was always a member of there Penny staff to guide me through the process. On the first time using the service i was apprehensive and anxious about the process as i required our funds for a particular deadline. Penny where extremely help through the whole experience and delivered on on the date of my deadline. So i was very happy

I would highly recommend Penny for selective invoice finance. Bobbie in particular provides excellent service at every stage of the process. Whenever I introduce a client to Penny, I feel reassured they will receive the same great service!

Excellent Service

Very quick repsonse to my enquiry, and total professionalism by all involved. Great Company and quick and fast access to funds. Special mention to Bobbie Knight for being so courteous and a pleasure to do business with.

Found Penny Freedom online and opened an account within minutes was in need of advancing invoices due to wages, in very short time my account manager Natalia went to every great lengths to achieve this and clear things up with myself, client but most importantly I was able to pay my guys just in time for Christmas. Hassle free really easy and quick responses. Looking forward working closely with Natalia and team in 2024

5* service

5* service, We've been using penny for around a year, service and prompt payments as well as dealing with client problems are next to none, they have a professional approach and are always helping where they can, Vaida is a credit to the business.

Rubbish

Poor 'computer says no' service with absolutely no empathy shown by their staff. Every call was answered in an unprofessional, generally unenthusiastic manner by staff who clearly don't want to be there. Given the way the business is run they may not be there much longer.

Penny Freedom? Penny Dreadful more like!

We have thirty nine clients belonging to one group - One of that group was a week late with payment and as a consequence all payments from that group are now frozen. When that client pays and should another be late - all receipts - frozen. They could sit on ALL our reciepts for months. The fault lies with Penny Freedoms insurance aparently - they chose to short cut and insure the group not the individual clients: and why should that be our problem? Add to that immediate harrassment of clients if payments are the slightest overdue severely damaging our credibility. What part of factoring do this company not understand? Do not use this company if your business depends apon it - it very likely will.

Thank you for your review, as you are aware, we were not provided with confirmation relating to the invoice submitted and were unable to fund until we could receive this

I couldn't speak more highly of Penny

I couldn't speak more highly of Penny. Yes their fees are probably higher than mainstream factoring companies but they are great for start ups who cannot obtain finance.
Their customer service and validation teams were always on hand to help and my first invoice was paid out very quickly.

Great customer service from Hollie 😊

Great customer service from Hollie 😊
I found the Portal a bit tricky and needed a helping hand to familiarise myself with it. Hard to get that right first time.
I’ve been paid my first invoice after just a few days from registering.
So far so good…..

Penny Freedom have been so helpful with our invoices.

Penny Freedom have been so helpful with our invoices the last month or so. Hollie and Lauren are always on the ball and work hard to help us when there are deadlines in place. I highly recommend the company.

5***** for Lauren

Lauren has gone above and beyond helpful in not only ensuring invoices are paid promptly, but also in pushing through urgent limit increases and informing us where we can help if there are any delays in validating.
Lauren's communication is excellent, warm and friendly and she is always available to speak with on the phone for guidance when needed.
Thank you, Lauren, you have been so helpful and are a great asset to Penny's.

No1 same day invoicing

Penny have been our saving grace as a business. We have made use of their services for over a year due to the outstanding communication and personal touch. Lauren and Kate have been particularly helpful, they are at the end of the phone when ever needed and both work very efficiently.

For invoice factoring, quick payment, and outstanding customer services, Penny are by far the no1 go to invoice factoring business.

Thanks for your help
