What is PO Financing?:

Your customer's invoice is overdue, and you're still waiting on the payment. But your supplier is waiting for payment, and you can't risk paying late or ruining your relationship. Regardless, your packaging, shipping, product and labor costs must be met.

Does this situation sound familiar?

Purchase order financing is a funding solution that helps businesses buy the inventory they need to complete customer orders. With purchase order financing, you can ensure your orders are fulfilled and that your customers are satisfied even when you don’t have the working capital readily available. 

In order to take advantage of purchase order funding (also called invoice factoring), you first need to present proof of the delivery and acceptance of the goods, while invoicing your financier for the goods at an agreed-upon discount. Then, the lender invoices your buyer for the full amount, collecting the payment according to your agreed upon terms.

After receiving the payment, the balance is paid (less applicable administration fees and the cost of money used). The process for non-finished goods differs slightly, as it involves the seller taking possession of the goods in an unfinished state. 

Purchase order funding is the ideal funding option for businesses that require the cash flow to fill orders, while avoiding a tarnished reputation in the process. It's also easier than bank financing, as it hinges on the creditworthiness and financial strength of the invoiced company, rather than your own. 

The Purchase Order Financing process has never been so fast, simple and easy! All you need to do is sell your customer's purchase order in exchange for the capital you need.

How purchase order financing works:

Purchase order financing is pretty straightforward. The entire process can be broken down into 5 simple steps. Take a look at how purchase order financing works. 

Step 1: Receive an order: 

Your customer will submit an order and you’ll decide whether or not you have the cash flow at hand to fulfill it. If not, purchase order financing may be a good fit. Just make sure to have your supplier send you an invoice for the estimated cost for the order so you’ll know exactly how much funding you’ll need. 

Step 2: Apply for purchase order financing: 

Contact your lender about your situation and to review purchase order financing options. Depending on your qualification requirements, you may be able to secure up to 100% of your supplier costs. If not, you may have to put down between 10% to 20% of your own funds.  

 

Step 3: Your supplier fulfills the order:

Your purchase order financing company will pay your supplier who will then fulfill your customer’s order. In most cases, the supplier will also deliver the products directly to the customer. 

 

Step 4: Your customer pays the purchase order financing company: 

Your customer will pay the purchase order financing company directly for the goods they receive. Keep in mind that the faster your customers pays, the faster you’ll get your share of the profits in return.

 

Step 5: The purchase order financing company pays you:

Once the purchase order finance company receives the payment, they’ll deduct the fees and forward you the remaining balance. 

Advantages and disadvantages of purchase order financing:

Advantages:

Purchase order financing can offer a number of different benefits. Most significantly, this type of financing allows you to fulfill your customer’s orders even when you’re dealing with cash flow issues. 

Purchase order financing is a relatively easy form of financing to obtain and tends to work fast. There are less requirements and higher approval rates. Even if you don’t have great credit or you’re a relatively younger business, you should be able to access this funding type. 

Purchase order financing is also typically unsecured. Meaning you won’t have to put up your assets as collateral in order to get approved for this financing type. In fact, if the lender is the typically the party that typically absorbs the risk if your customer doesn’t pay for the products.

 

Disadvantages:

 

Purchase order financing does feature some drawbacks that may not make it a good fit for every scenario. Most notably, purchase order financing has higher fees compared to other business loans. 

Purchase order financing is also designed to be a fast, short-term solution and may not be ideal for longer-term funding needs. If you continuously struggle with cash flow issues or you’re looking to finance a more extensive project – you may be better off with a business loan or line of credit. 

What is PO Financing?:

Purchase order financing can be a good fit for any business that needs to fulfill a customer order but is lacking the necessary cash flow. Purchase order financing is particularly common among wholesalers, distributors, importers and exporters, retailers, government contractors, and more. 

Other businesses that may seek out purchase order financing include:

  • Startups and young businesses

  • Businesses with low credit 

  • Businesses struggling with tight cash flow 

  • Business with seasonal sales cycles

  • Businesses growing fast

How to qualify for purchase order financing:

Qualifying for purchase order financing may actually be easier than qualifying for other types of business loans. The process also tends to be pretty straightforward. At a glance, you should expect to show that:

  • Your business sells finished goods

  • Your customers are creditworthy

  • Your suppliers have a solid reputation

  • Your profit margins are at least 15% to 20%

Some lenders will also have order minimum requirements. This will usually be around $20,000 but can vary depending on the lender you work with.
