PO Factoring

Combining Purchase Order Financing and Invoice Factoring

Combining PO Funding and A/R Factoring

Individually, purchase order financing and invoice factoring are both excellent financial tools to improve cash flow and accelerate business growth. When put together, these tools will flourish, providing the perfect complement to each other and delivering your business with easy-to-access and reliable cash flow at every step of the way.

What is Purchase Order Financing?

The International Factoring Association estimated that about 60-80% of small and medium-sized businesses experience problems with cash flow. Purchase order financing and invoice factoring are both great solutions in supporting and improving cash flow at multiple different stages of business.

Invoice factoring is when you sell your 30-90 day invoices to a factoring company, and the factor advances you the cash with a remarkably quick turn-around, all while protecting your business and taking on the credit risk.

PO Factoring

Purchase order financing is when businesses have large purchase orders that they cannot cover the cost of, and companies like Bankers Factoring cover the cost of the manufacturing and shipping costs, enabling the business to complete the order.

Bankers Factoring can then factor the invoices on the goods we helped buy with PO funding.

See our guide to purchase order financing.

Example of Purchase Order Financing:

Say you own a picture frame business. You get a large order from Walmart for your frames, but you don’t have enough money to cover the order and buy the product from your manufacturer. This is where Bankers Factoring comes in – we will buy the frames from the manufacturer for you.

Now, your business has the frames that it needs, and you can deliver your product to Walmart. This now creates an invoice on 30-90 day payment terms that Bankers Factoring can now purchase using invoice factoring, where Bankers Factoring will advance your invoice’s cash, providing a safe and low-cost solution for improved cash flow.
