Purchase Order Financing
Purchase order financing can be a great solution for your short-term financing needs. It’s used for the purpose of financing the purchase or manufacture of products that have already been sold. This process is possible through the issuance of letters of credit or additional guarantees from an external player to your financial institution. The goal is to secure the necessary inventory to meet your pending orders.
Through the financing of purchase orders, it’s possible to support local and international transactions. The additional working capital thus generated provides significant flexibility for some important orders that you cannot miss. Obviously, this type of financing will allow you to increase your sales and take advantage of profitable opportunities greater than those you can normally afford.
Purchase order financing is used by manufacturers, distributors, importers, and exporters. It can be used to pay product suppliers, to issue letters of credit, to pay for labour, raw materials, or other related expenses.
