Supply Chain Financing

When suppliers get paid sooner -- and buyers get to hold onto their money longer -- everybody wins.  That's the idea behind Supply Chain Financing.

A “supply chain” describes the flow of goods as they move from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer. Supply chains can be wrought with inefficiencies because members of the supply chain -- the sellers and buyers -- often have competing objectives. Sellers want reassurance that they will be paid. Buyers, in contrast, want to be sure that their shipment arrives in satisfactory condition before they release any funds. Moreover, in order to boost precious working capital, buyers’ want extended payment terms and suppliers’ want immediate payment.

With Supply Chain Financing, or “SCF,” this flow of goods is made more efficient by providing financing to members of the supply chain. In a typical SCF scenario, AgriCap steps in as a financial partner to both parties and employs some or all of the following financing strategies:

  • Purchase Order Financing
  • Bill of Lading Financing
  • Contract Financing
  • Pre-Export Financing
  • Pre-Delivery Financing
  • Invoice Financing

Enrolling in AgriCap's supply chain financing program ensures a smooth, cost-effective, and efficient supply chain flow occurs.
