What is Purchase Order Funding?

Purchase order funding can help cover the costs of fulfilling a confirmed order before the customer pays. Fund The People facilitates access to our Purchase Order Funding Solutions through funding providers, subject to assessment and agreed terms. Any advance, permitted costs and repayment arrangements are confirmed by the provider.


How Fund The People Helps You Access Money from a Purchase Order

Step 1: Submit Your Purchase Order

Start by providing Fund The People with the details of your purchase order. This includes the client information, order value, and expected delivery timeline.

Step 2: Verification and Approval

Fund The People helps review the information supplied for the enquiry. The funding provider assesses the order, parties and transaction before deciding whether to offer funding.

Step 3: Receive Funding

If funding is approved, the provider’s agreement confirms how funds are released and which supplier or production costs may be covered.

Step 4: Fulfill Your Order

With funding in place, you can fulfill the order promptly, maintaining your reputation and client satisfaction.

Step 5: Repayment

After your client settles the invoice, repayment follows the funding provider’s agreement, including the agreed costs and settlement arrangements.
