How to Get Paid from a Purchase Order with Fund The People

A Clear, Simple Path to PO Financing

When you’re awarded a purchase order by a government agency, nonprofit, or private organization, it can feel like a huge win—until you realize that actual payment could take 30, 60, or even 90 days. That delay can severely impact your ability to fulfill the contract. That’s where Fund The People’s PO funding services come in.

Purchase Order Funding: What It Is and How It Works

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. Here’s how it works:

Step-by-Step Process

1. Apply for PO Funding
   Submit your application online through Fund The People’s secure platform. You’ll need to provide basic details, including your purchase order, invoice (if available), and vendor or client information.
   
2. Discuss the Next Step
   Our team can discuss the information submitted and help you understand the next step. The provider determines any funding decision and its timing.
   
3. Receive Your Funds
   If a facility is approved, payment arrangements and permitted use of funds follow the provider’s agreement.
   
4. Payment Collection
   After delivery, customer payment and settlement follow the agreed arrangements with the funding provider.

Services Built for Real-World Contractors and Creators

Fund The People helps businesses explore funding options and understand the next step for an awarded order. Here’s what sets them apart:
