Purchase Order Financing, also known as Purchase Order Funding, is a financial tool that is used to meet the needs of manufacturers and wholesalers who lack the capital to fill an order from their customer. The most common reasons companies seek PO Financing are limited cash and limited credit from suppliers.

Purchase Order Financing allows smaller companies the opportunity to take advantage of large orders they may not be accustomed to. Many companies simply cannot afford to use all of their cash on hand to fulfill an order that may take a lengthy period of time before they receive payment. Bigger orders that are profitable are hard to come by for many companies and can positively alter the course of future sales if they can be fulfilled. Passing on an opportunity is disheartening to any owner and often will close the door on future business from a customer or prospect. Purchase Order Funding with Beacon Business Capital can solve this dilemma and provide the financial capacity to fill large orders.

Purchase Order Funding can provide up to 100% of the cost of pre-sold goods on domestic or international transactions.
