What is distributor finance?
Distributor finance is a form of supply chain finance that enables distributors to fund their inventory and receivables.
The funding bridges the liquidity gap between the holding of manufactured goods for distribution and their sale to wholesalers, retailers or consumers.
How short-term finance can help distributor businesses
Distributors are caught in the middle of the supply chain, acting as intermediaries between manufacturers and downstream companies, wholesalers, retailers and consumers.
If there’s insufficient funding to purchase inventory and ensure uninterrupted stock, they risk breaking the supply chain and alienating manufacturers and suppliers.
Distributor finance provides the funding required to keep the supply chain moving. An advance in working capital can:
- help with cash-flow challenges
- provide upfront capital to purchase inventory
- help scale operations and expand capacity
- help build strong relationships with suppliers
- enhance negotiating power through capacity to buy in volume
- ensure uninterrupted stock availability for wholesalers, retailers and consumers.
When to use distributor finance
Distributor finance is short-term funding solution that is paid back within 180 days.
It should be used to purchase products or services or to scale your business through expansion of your network.
Often, funds are paid directly to a supplier.
Distributor finance through Business Loans is facilitated through an online application and follow-up conversation with a loan manager.
