Frequently asked questions

How does purchase order finance work?

With purchase order (PO) finance, the lender pays your supplier directly upon receipt of a confirmed purchase order from your customer. Once you deliver and invoice, the PO finance is repaid from the customer payment.

Can trade finance be combined with invoice finance?

Yes - trade finance and invoice finance work very well together. Trade finance pays your supplier upfront; invoice finance then accelerates payment from your customer. Together they can completely eliminate the cash flow gap in your supply chain.

Is trade finance available for services businesses?

Trade finance is primarily designed for product-based businesses that buy and sell physical goods. However, some lenders offer solutions for service businesses with long delivery cycles or significant upfront costs.
