If you’ve ever landed a big contract or wholesale order and didn’t have the funds to cover supplier costs—this is where Fund the People steps in. But how exactly are these purchase orders paid?

What Is Purchase Order Financing?

Purchase order funding can help cover supplier costs for an awarded order. Fund The People helps businesses explore our Purchase Order Funding Solutions through funding providers.

How Purchase Order Funding Solutions Can Support an Order

  1. Application & Approval: You apply online with your purchase order and basic business documentation. The funding provider assesses the proposed transaction and determines whether to offer a facility.
  2. Supplier Payment: If a facility is approved, the provider’s agreement sets out the amount and timing of any supplier payment.
  3. Goods Delivery: Delivery responsibilities follow the order and the agreed supplier arrangements.
  4. Customer Payment: The customer pays according to the agreed invoicing and settlement arrangements.
  5. Settlement: The provider’s agreement sets out how the advance, fees and any remaining balance are settled. Review the proposed facility’s costs, repayment obligations and security requirements before proceeding.
