Does anybody have any experience of factoring with single invoices (also known as single invoice discounting / finance)?

If so, I'd be grateful for any insights, guidance on typical fees / commission and any recommendations.

I have a substantial unpaid invoice and am wondering whether this would be more effective than the small claims court.

Cash flow Sep 17, 2014

Factoring is usually for cash flow management, not collection. A factor would not normally take on a doubtful account. For a percentage cut, the factor will take on your accounts receivable and pay you immediately, instead of having to wait 30-60 days.
