Purchase Orders

Purchase order funding allows your company to purchase goods from a supplier or fund manufacturing of a product to complete an order to your company from a creditworthy customer when you lack the working capital to do so on your own.

With purchase order financing a buyer issues a formal agreement that a specific job is going to be delivered at a specific price. The order may be for finished goods that you acquire from a domestic or foreign supplier, and then deliver to your customer. The order can also be for goods that require some amount of manufacturing or repackaging before being delivered to your customer.

It is not uncommon that many businesses have more orders than they actually have the financial ability to fulfill. Just imagine how much lost business that equates to for your company!

By being able to complete the order you maintain the relationship with your customer and have the opportunity to receive future orders from that customer.
