Purchase Order Financing for Resellers and Trading Companies
Summary
Overwhelmed by purchase orders or turning them away? Discover how purchase order financing can help expand your business.
Introduction
If you own a reselling, importing/exporting, or trading business, you likely profit by buying products at a favorable rate and selling them at a markup. This straightforward business model can yield healthy margins?"often between 15% to 30%, and sometimes even up to 100%.
However, challenges arise when suppliers demand immediate payment while customers pay in 30 to 60 days. This timing mismatch can lead to financial strain.
Traditional Solutions and Their Limitations
Typically, business owners turn to banks for loans. Unfortunately, small and mid-sized businesses often struggle to secure these loans. But there's an alternative worth considering.
Enter Purchase Order Financing
Purchase order financing offers the funds (or letters of credit) you need to pay suppliers, enabling you to fulfill orders and boost sales. Unlike traditional loans, it's easier to obtain.
This option lets you pay suppliers using the financing company's money, then resell to a third party. The key requirement is non-cancelable purchase orders from reputable commercial or government clients.
How Purchase Order Financing Works
If your company lacks the financial resources to fulfill orders, purchase order financing can be a game changer. Here’s the process:
1. Receive a Purchase Order: Once you have a non-cancelable order from a reliable customer, contact a financing company.
2. Arrange Financing: The company provides letters of credit or similar tools to pay your suppliers.
3. Fulfill the Order: With supplier payments handled, you can fulfill the order and invoice your customer.
4. Receive Payment: The transaction settles when your customer pays, usually within 30 to 60 days.
Combining with Invoice Factoring
Many businesses pair purchase order financing with invoice factoring, also known as receivable factoring. This combination can lower financing costs and increase profitability.
By leveraging purchase order financing, you can seize opportunities without turning away valuable business, ultimately fostering growth and success.
