Purchase Order or Contract Financing is used
to pay suppliers, laborers, or other intermediaries for goods or services,
or to generate additional sales. The collateral, or ‘guarantee’ is a contract
already signed with a client for a job to be done or already in progress.
Given the strength of that collateral, the bank or financial institution
will accept to fund the contractor of the project. Once the company finishes
the job and is paid by its client, it repays the loan. In some instances,
the contract payment is assigned to the bank, in which case the financial
institution will get paid directly by the client.
The company receiving the proceeds of the loan
can use those funds for working capital, that is, to pay for suppliers,
labor and materials for the project, or to invest in other projects, thus
increasing sales.
This type of financing will enable companies
to take advantage of sales growth opportunities that are larger than they
can finance internally. The focus is not necessarily on the balance sheet
of the company, but rather the underlying transaction and its economic
and commercial viability. With a purchase order or contract financing,
corporations are no longer hindered by the lack of working capital to get
deals done.
A company will need purchase order
or contract financing when:
It requires expertise to handle the financing
It needs immediate cash to pay job-specific
suppliers for raw materials
It needs cash to pay job-specific labor
It would like the opportunity to handle additional
working capital
It needs a quick response to an immediate
sales need
The company doesn't want to incur in additional
credit risk
It wants to strengthen its cash flow position
It wants the opportunity to make additional
profit
Contractors or Subcontractors
This form of financing can be used by both
main contractors and subcontractors to pay suppliers, workers and for any
other expenses the company might incur.
