Orthrus is an invoice funding company built for the creative industries. We turn approved client invoices into cash within 72 hours, so the people who do the work don't have to bankroll the wait.
A plain description of the business, with no jargon in the way.
Orthrus provides invoice funding to creative businesses and creative talent. When you've completed a job and issued an invoice, we advance up to 90% of its value within 72 hours — instead of you waiting 30 to 90 days for the client to pay.
We fund invoices one at a time. There's no facility to set up, no requirement to hand over your whole sales ledger, and no long-term contract. You choose which invoices to submit, and you see the single fee before you commit to any of them.
It's disclosed funding: your client is told the invoice is payable to Orthrus and settles it with us directly. We handle collection. The work, the contract and the relationship stay yours.
We're built specifically for the creative industries — modelling and talent agencies, studios, production companies, models, creators and the people around them — because long payment terms hit creative work harder than most.
Orthrus is funded by investors who back practical software businesses for the long term.
Orthrus is backed by Haatch, an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in founders building practical, useful software businesses.
Their support means we can advance funds quickly and grow the business carefully — without pushing risk or pressure onto the agencies, studios and talent we work with.
Invoice finance has a reputation for long contracts and hidden costs. Orthrus is built to be the opposite.
We don't take over your sales ledger or tie you to a long contract. Orthrus funds single invoices, chosen by you.
There's nothing to set up and no minimum. You use Orthrus when an invoice's timing doesn't suit you, and not when it does.
A single fee per invoice, published in advance and capped at 10% of value. No setup costs, no service charges, nothing added later.
We understand campaign bookings, shoot fees, usage rights and retainers — and the long terms that come with them.
