Advance payment

An advance payment, or simply an advance, is the part of a contractually due sum that is paid or received in advance for goods or services, while the balance included in the invoice will only follow the delivery. The term "advance" may also refer to a loan.

Under UK social security law, an advance payment may also be made to a person in receipt of Universal Credit.
