Explanation
In a normal Supply Chain set up, a buyer purchases goods from a supplier with a pre-agreed credit term, typically 30 or 60 days.
In the event the supplier requires cash flow before he receives this payment, the supplier can go to a bank to get working capital. However, smaller suppliers would typically struggle to get such approved loans due to the bank’s tight lending criteria as well as due to their less desirable credit standing.
This is where SCF can come in to help suppliers attain financing lines from a financier on the favourable credit standings of their buyers.
