 Most dealers and resellers make their money by one way. They buy products from their providers at a favorable price, and then sell them to their customers for a markup. Simplicity, cleanness, profitability are characteristics of the business model. Many companies can easily pull margins of 15% to 30%.
Being very good, the business model is also challenging. It is easy to explain. Buying from a provider, you are always wanted an urgent payment or payment by letter of credit. But your customers always want to pay in 30 to 60 days. Unfortunately, this payment timing discrepancy can create major problems.
But when this happens, most business owners do the same. They run to the bank and try to get a business loan. However, it is very hard to get business loans. It is sad but many businesses have the misfortune when they go to a bank for financing. Luckily, there is an alternative.
This alternative is called purchase order financing. This financing product provides you with the funds (or letters of credit) to pay all your providers. This allows you to deliver the order and make the sale. Moreover, it’s easy to get.
With the help of this you can buy products from your providers. But you can use the financing company's money, and then resell them to a third party. You have non-cancelable purchase orders from solid commercial or government customers. And this is the main requirement.
In case your company is turning away orders because it lacks the financial wherewithal to deliver on them, then purchase order financing can be very helpful. So, having had a purchase order, you call the factoring company. And then you will be provided with the letters of credit (or similar instruments) to pay your suppliers. This will help you go ahead and deliver on the order and invoice your client. Besides, the transaction is settled once your client pays.
Purchase order funding is combined with invoice factoring. With the help of this you can lower your overall cost of financing. It means you will make the transaction more beneficial for you.
