Purchase Order Financing Underwriting Criteria

Purchase order financing is form of short term financing that can be utilized by businesses that need capital to produce or deliver a product or service to a customer. Like other forms of short term financing, PO financing is more expensive than a conventional bank loan. However, if you cannot acquire conventional bank financing, the cost of alternative financing is a moot point!

If paying a little more in financing costs is the difference between fulfilling an order to a key customer or losing the sale, then you do whatever it takes to make the deal work.
