Purchase Order Funding, or PO Funding, is a financial solution that helps businesses fulfil large purchase orders by providing the necessary funds to cover production and delivery costs before the customer pays.
Purchase Order Funding is also known as PO Funding, Purchase Order Finance, PO Finance, and Tender Funding. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the process of securing funds based on confirmed purchase orders.
Purchase Order Finance involves a lender like Sourcefin advancing funds based on a confirmed purchase order. This financing covers supplier costs, ensuring timely delivery and payment once the order is fulfilled.
Tender Funding, also known as Tender Finance, helps businesses secure government and large corporate contracts by providing upfront capital to meet tender requirements, ensuring smooth project execution and cash flow management.
PO Finance is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses experiencing cash flow challenges when fulfilling large orders. It helps maintain business growth without financial strain and improves the chances of being awarded more purchase orders.
Sourcefin offers comprehensive PO Finance solutions, including funding, sourcing, and logistics support, ensuring successful order delivery and business growth. We also provide tender funding to help businesses secure and complete significant projects.
It depends on a number of factors, including the value of the purchase order, the cost to deliver, the time the money will be out and the general complexity or risk related to the deal. We evaluate each application individually, and assign a fee based on the aforementioned factors.
To qualify for PO funding, you will need to provide some or all of the following documentation:
Eligibility for PO Funding typically requires a confirmed purchase order from a creditworthy customer, a viable business plan, and the ability to fulfil the order within the specified timeframe. Importantly, the purchaser or end buyer should be able to pay the full amount due on time.
Not necessarily. Remember, the money advanced to you is specifically to deliver on a purchase order. Therefore, the money advanced to you is secured by the value of a valid, successfully delivered PO. We do consider credit history during our application process, to ensure we are satisfied that no significant risk factors are present.
Sourcefin aims to approve the deal within 48 hours. However, the timeframe for receiving PO Funding can vary. Many businesses can secure financing within a few days to a week, depending on the lender’s processes and the complexity of the order.
Tender Finance can cover various costs, including supplier payments, manufacturing expenses, logistics, and other project-related costs, ensuring that businesses can meet tender requirements effectively.
PO Funding helps improve cash flow by providing the necessary funds upfront to fulfil purchase orders, ensuring that businesses do not face cash shortages during critical operations.
PO Funding is not a traditional loan. Instead, it is an advance based on a confirmed purchase order, meaning repayment is typically tied to the completion and payment of the order. When you partner with Sourcefin, for example, they only receive payment once you receive payment.
Industries that frequently benefit from Purchase Order Finance include manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, and retail, especially those dealing with large volume or high value orders.
Sourcefin doesn’t help with the purchase order application process. Instead, we give you the peace of mind to apply for orders that you may have felt you couldn’t apply for in the past due to insufficient funding or sourcing support. Once you have received a purchase order, Sourcefin can support you source, fund and deliver on time, every time. We’ll partner with you for growth.
