Purchase Order Based Funding
Funding to execute confirmed purchase orders.
About PO Funding
Purchase order funding helps you fulfil a confirmed order when you don’t have the working capital to buy materials or pay for production.
The financier looks closely at the order itself — who the buyer is, how reliable their payments are, and whether you can deliver on time — alongside your own business profile.
Why consider PO Funding
Take on bigger orders
Accept orders larger than your current cash allows.
Linked to a real transaction
Funding is tied to a specific confirmed order and its expected payment.
Repaid from the buyer’s payment
Repayment is usually scheduled around when your buyer pays.
What providers usually look at
- A confirmed, valid purchase order from a creditworthy buyer
- Proven ability to execute similar orders
- Clear production or procurement plan and delivery timeline
- Reasonable margin on the order
- Acceptable business and promoter credit history
Every provider sets its own criteria. Meeting these does not guarantee approval.

- Copy of the purchase order
- Buyer details and past invoices to the same buyer, if any
- Project cost sheet and execution timeline

Questions about PO Funding
Does the buyer’s profile matter more than mine?
Both matter. Financiers rely heavily on the buyer’s payment record, but they also need confidence that you can complete the order.
What if the buyer pays late?
Terms differ by financier. Ask in advance how delays are handled and whether extra charges apply.
