Purchase order financing
If you’re a business that faces cash flow constraints when fulfilling large orders, purchase order financing can be a game-changer. It is a specialized financing option designed to help businesses cover the costs of fulfilling customer orders without depleting their working capital.
Purchase order financing is particularly beneficial for businesses that experience rapid growth, seasonal spikes in demand, or lack sufficient funds to purchase the necessary inventory and fulfill customer orders. It provides the necessary capital to pay suppliers and manufacturers upfront, enabling businesses to meet customer demand and seize new sales opportunities.
Why PO Financing?
Purchase order financing allows businesses to fulfill larger orders, increase sales volume, and maintain healthy cash flow without relying solely on their existing working capital or traditional loans. It can be a flexible and efficient financing solution for businesses in need of short-term capital to bridge the gap between supplier payments and customer payments.
How does it work?
Purchase order financing is particularly beneficial for businesses that experience rapid growth, seasonal spikes in demand, or lack sufficient funds to purchase the necessary inventory and fulfill customer orders, providing the necessary capital to pay suppliers and manufacturers upfront, enabling businesses to meet customer demand and seize new sales opportunities.
Here’s how purchase order financing typically works:
- Evaluation of the purchase order: Your business receives a purchase order from a customer for goods or products, the financing company will evaluate the purchase order and assesses the creditworthiness of your customer, as well as the reliability and reputation of your suppliers.
- Funding approval: If approved, the financing company provides a percentage of the funds needed to pay your suppliers or manufacturers directly. This ensures that you can fulfill the order without relying solely on your own capital.
- Supplier payment: the financing company issues payment to your suppliers or manufacturers on your behalf, allowing them to produce or deliver the goods required to fulfill the order.
- Fulfillment and payment: With the necessary funds provided, your suppliers can fulfill the order and deliver the goods to your customer. Once the customer pays for the order, the funds are received directly by the financing company. They will deduct their fees, which typically include a percentage of the purchase order value and other associated costs and the remaining funds are released to your business, allowing you to cover any remaining expenses and retain a profit margin.
- Reserve and final payment: The factor deducts its fees and holds a reserve, typically around 10% of the total invoice value, as a protection against any unpaid invoices or disputes. The reserve is released to the business once the customer pays the invoice in full.
