Invoice discounting is post sales funding meaning that funding should happen once sales has been done and goods / services delivered.
Why is it required?
A vendor supplies goods to a large company (customer) and raises an invoice on the customer to make the payment. Many a times, customer is offered credit period and customer pays after 60-90 days to the vendor. During this period, vendor is out of money and it needs funds to make payment for raw material, salaries etc

Sales Invoice Financing (SIF) –

On due date of the invoice, Buyer makes the payment directly to the financier or through seller. Mostly (not always) seller is a SME or vendor supplying to a large company like HUL, ITC, Maruti etc, financier takes credit comfort that the customer would pay on time. In SIF, vendor is approaching the financier.
Purchase Invoice Financing (PIF) -
