What if You Receive a Purchase Order From Your Customer and You Need Financing for Manufacturing?
Not all lenders and financing companies will fund manufacturers, production facilities, and job shops. Purchase Order Financing (PO Financing) for manufacturing is a specialty lending niche. WIP Funding with our long experience in Work in Process Financing can help.
What Questions You Need to Answer About Your Product, Process, People, and Customers:
-
What Complexity and Timeframe Are Associated with Your Process?
There is a need to provide a list of raw materials, vendor sources, lead times, and credit terms. Also, this requires a diagram or spreadsheet showing all costs and labor needed for each stage. Don’t forget about the packaging and logistics costs.
-
Do I have a Firm Purchase Order from My Customer?
The details of the Purchase Order from your creditworthy customer with all specifications shop drawings and vendor agreements is another critical component. These transactions “work backward.” What do we mean by that term? All deals start with your creditworthy client issuing you a Purchase Order for goods that can produce sufficient gross profit and within an attainable timeline.
-
What is Your Client’s Creditworthiness and Vendor Policies?
