What Is Purchase Order Financing?

Purchase order financing gives businesses the capital needed to pay suppliers and fulfill confirmed customer orders.


Example Scenario

A retailer receives a R1 million order but lacks funds to purchase stock.

With purchase order financing, the funder (Nisa Finance) pays the supplier, allowing the business to deliver the order and earn the profit.


Advantages

  • Accept larger contracts
  • Preserve cash reserves
  • Build stronger supplier relationships
  • Scale faster
