What Are Purchase Order Funders and How Do They Work?
Purchase order funders are financial partners that provide the necessary capital for businesses to fulfil large orders. Instead of using existing cash flow or loans, you work with a purchase order funder to finance the cost of producing or purchasing goods from a supplier. This allows you to take on bigger contracts without worrying about where the money will come from.
How Purchase Order Funding Works: A Simple Breakdown
- You receive a purchase order from your client.
- Apply for Funding Solutions with Fund The People by providing the purchase order and supplier information.
- Our team assesses the proposed transaction and determines whether to offer a facility.
- If a facility is approved, supplier payments follow our agreement.
- You complete the order and send the invoice to your customer.
- After the client pays, settlement of the advance, fees and any remaining balance follows our agreement.
This system ensures you can take on large orders even without having the funds upfront, allowing you to grow without the financial strain.
Why Choose Purchase Order Funders for Your Business?
Unlock Big Opportunities Without Debt
One of the main benefits of working with purchase order funders is that you don’t need to take out loans or give up equity in your business. You simply use the order as collateral, and once your client pays, you settle the funding.
Protect Your Cash Flow
Instead of tying up your working capital in fulfilling orders, you can focus on growing your business. Purchase order funding helps you keep your cash flow intact while completing large projects on time.

Who Can Benefit from Working with Purchase Order Funders?
Product-Based Businesses
If you’re a business that supplies physical products — whether it’s machinery, electronics, or building materials — working with purchase order funders is especially useful. It enables you to buy goods or raw materials from your supplier without the capital needed upfront.
Government Contractors and Tenderpreneurs
Many businesses in South Africa work on government tenders or large corporate contracts. These orders are often large and require funds to fulfil, but the payments can take time. Purchase order funders help you fulfil these contracts without waiting for the payment to come through.
