FAQs about purchase order funding

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about PO Funding and how it can benefit your business.

Purchase Order Funding is a financing solution that provides businesses with the capital needed to fulfill purchase orders from customers. It helps bridge the cash flow gap between receiving an order and getting paid.

Purchase Order Funding is also known as PO Funding, PO Finance, Purchase Order Finance, Tender Funding, and Order Financing.

Once you receive a purchase order, we pay your supplier directly. The supplier ships the goods to your customer. After delivery, you invoice your customer and receive payment. We receive our advance plus a small fee, and you keep the profit.

Tender Funding allows you to accept larger orders, improve cash flow, grow your business without taking on debt, and focus on operations while we handle the financing.

Any business that receives purchase orders but lacks the working capital to fulfill them can benefit. This includes startups, SMEs, and established businesses looking to scale.

We provide end-to-end support including funding, supplier sourcing, logistics coordination, and project management to ensure successful order delivery.

Our fees are competitive and transparent. We take a small percentage of the order value, with no hidden costs or surprise fees.

You’ll need the purchase order, your business registration documents, bank statements, and basic personal identification.

You need a valid purchase order from a creditworthy customer, a registered business, and the ability to fulfill the order with our support.

Not necessarily. We focus more on the quality of the purchase order and your ability to deliver, rather than your personal credit history.

Once approved, funding can be arranged within days, allowing you to start fulfilling your order promptly.

Tender Funding covers supplier payments, materials, logistics, and other costs associated with fulfilling the purchase order.

PO Funding improves cash flow by eliminating the need to use your own capital to fulfill orders, freeing up resources for other business needs.

No, PO Funding is not a traditional loan. It’s a transaction-based financing solution where we fund specific purchase orders rather than lending money to your business.

Manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, construction, and any industry that deals with large orders and significant upfront costs benefit most from PO Finance.
