What Is Purchase Order Financing — And How It Helps You Take On Bigger Orders Without the Cash Upfront

Landing a big order is exciting — it means more revenue and growth.

But many companies run into the same problem:

You get the order, but you don’t have the cash to pay your suppliers to fulfill it.

Banks take too long. Lines of credit max out. Cash flow gets tight.

This is where Purchase Order (PO) Financing becomes a powerful solution.

What Is PO Financing?

PO financing gives you the money you need to produce and deliver an order before your customer pays you.

A financing partner pays your suppliers directly. You deliver the order. Your customer pays. The lender deducts their fee and sends you the rest.

You get to take the order — without using your own cash.

How It Works

1. You receive a confirmed purchase order.

2. You show the PO to a financing partner.Approval is mainly based on your customer’s reliability.

3. They pay your suppliers for production or inventory.

4. You deliver the order under your brand.

5. Your customer pays the invoice.The lender keeps their fee and you receive the remaining profit.

It’s that simple.

Why Businesses Use PO Financing

• Take on larger orders confidentlyEven if suppliers require upfront payment.

• Approval doesn’t depend on your creditIt depends on your customer’s ability to pay.

• No line of credit neededWorks even if your LOC is declined or maxed out.

• Stay competitiveAccept bigger contracts without cash flow slowing you down.

• Protect your working capitalKeep money free for payroll, operations, and growth.
