What is purchase order funding?
Purchase order funding (or PO funding) bridges the gap between receiving an order and getting paid for your products or services.
This makes it possible to fulfil orders you’d otherwise have to turn down. It ensures your business can pay suppliers and other costs so it can deliver on orders, to specs and on time.
Who qualifies for funding?
A purchase order is a formal document authorising a purchase of goods or services from a business.
Any registered, tax-compliant business that has a signed, legally binding purchase order can apply for finance through us.
More favourable offers are likely if the client responsible for the order and proposed suppliers are established and credit-worthy.
What you can (and can’t) use PO funding for
This type of finance is designed to cover expenses associated directly with fulfilling an order.
For example, this includes supplies your business needs to satisfy an order, for goods or specific services. The lender usually pays your suppliers directly. It may also cover additional labour requirements.
To cover general expenses related to running your business (such as rent, standard salaries or tax obligations), you’d need a different type of business loan.
How much does PO funding cost?
The cost of this type of funding is calculated as a percentage of the purchase order amount. (The percentage will vary from lender to lender). This is a fixed fee.
Typically, there are no additional costs.
