Agencies, studios and production companies deliver the work, pay their people, then wait months to be paid. Orthrus closes that gap — turn an approved client invoice into working capital within 72 hours.
Every campaign you deliver on 60 or 90-day terms is, in effect, a loan to a brand. You've covered the model fees, the crew, the studio time and the salaries — and the cash won't come back for months.
Working capital sits locked in approved invoices. Growth, hiring and the next booking all wait on whichever client pays slowest.
Up to 90% of an invoice becomes working capital you can deploy now — into payroll, the next production, or the next hire.
Take a modelling agency that books a £48,000 campaign with a brand on 60-day terms. The models are owed around £26,000 within 30 days — so the agency is short for a month, on money it has already earned.
Rather than cover that gap from its own reserves, the agency submits the campaign invoice to Orthrus.
Illustrative only, using published rates. The £43,200 advance covers the £26,000 owed to models with three weeks to spare; the balance follows when the brand pays. Your exact fee is always confirmed before you commit.
Orthrus isn't a facility that takes over your ledger. It's per-invoice funding you reach for when the timing helps — and ignore when it doesn't.
Submit one invoice or several. There's no obligation to fund the rest of your ledger, and no monthly minimum to meet.
You keep the contract and the contact. Orthrus collects the payment; the brand relationship stays entirely yours.
No long-term agreement and no lock-in. Onboard once, then use Orthrus whenever a client's payment terms don't suit your cash flow.
One fee per invoice, fixed before you submit and capped at 10% of value. Nothing is added afterwards.
Per-invoice funding isn't for every invoice. It earns its fee when the timing of a payment — not the amount — is the problem.
Models, freelancers and crew are due on 14 or 30-day terms while the brand pays on 60 or 90. Funding the client invoice covers the people who can't wait.
A larger campaign than usual means larger up-front costs. Funding its invoice lets you take the work without straining reserves — or turning it down.
Three invoices all fall on 90-day terms in the same month. Funding one or two evens out the cash flow without touching the rest of the ledger.
A new brand on long terms has no payment history with you yet. Funding that first invoice removes the wait while the relationship settles.
If your business delivers creative work and bills established clients on commercial terms, Orthrus is built for the cash-flow gap that creates.
You book talent with brands and pay your models on agreed terms — usually well before the brand settles with you.

Retainers · campaign invoicesOrthrus is disclosed funding done plainly. It's straightforward to account for and easy to explain to a finance team.
A single agreed fee per invoice — no compounding charges, no service fees, nothing to reconcile line by line.
Your client receives a standard notice of assignment and pays Orthrus directly. Every step is documented and routine.
Pricing is published and confirmed before you submit. The fee on screen is the fee you pay.
What you pay depends on the size of the invoice and how long your client takes to settle. Larger invoices and shorter terms cost less.
What agency owners, studio directors and finance leads ask before they fund their first invoice.
No. Factoring usually means handing over your whole sales ledger on a long-term contract. Orthrus funds individual invoices that you choose, with no facility, no ledger commitment and no lock-in.
No. You decide which invoices to submit, and when. The rest of your ledger is unaffected, and there's no minimum number of invoices.
Invoice funding is routine for the brands and businesses you work with. Your client receives a standard notice of assignment and pays Orthrus directly — the amount, the terms and your relationship with them don't change.
We fund invoices addressed to established businesses in the UK and Europe. If your client is a European brand, that's usually within scope — we'll confirm the specific client when you submit the invoice.
Yes. Many brands pay through an accounts-payable portal or against a PO. We serve the notice of assignment and provide the account Orthrus is to be paid into; your client's finance team processes it the same way they would any updated payment instruction.
Yes. Each invoice is assessed on its own, and you can submit more than one — to the same client or to different ones. There's no cap on how many you put through, and no obligation to put through any.
Per-invoice funding doesn't take over your ledger or replace a bank facility — many businesses use it alongside one. Whether it interacts with the terms of an existing facility depends on that lender's agreement, so it's worth a quick check with them. We're happy to talk it through.
Onboarding is a one-off. We verify your business with standard identity and anti-fraud checks, then you can submit invoices whenever you need to — usually within a few working days.
