What is Supply Chain Finance (SCF)?
Supply Chain Finance or Trade Finance, is a WCR financing solution. Meaning that it finances the payment of supplier invoices, instead of the company’s delivered orders targeted by the traditional factoring.
With the Supply Chain Finance, the buyer sends the invoices of his supplier(s) for anticipated payment or payment within the stipulated period. This way, Supply Chain Finance allows a Buyer to have a financial institution to quickly pay the invoices due to its suppliers. The Buyer then preserves their cash-flow by having quick access to liquidities.
In a context of economic crisis, increased risk of failure, and supply difficulties, Supply Chain Finance entails the solution that allows your business partners to benefit from a quick payment of their invoices, without impacting your company’s cash-flow. It is an efficient lever for regaining financial leeway, securing business, and boosting recovery.
How does Supply Chain Finance work?
The operation of Supply Chain Finance involves two main principles: the payment by a financial institution of validated and not due supplier invoices and the payment of the cost of the service by the buyer for the benefit of one or more suppliers.
Usually reserved for great enterprises, Suplly Chain Finance is now accessible to SMEs thanks to URIOS and its network of privileged partners.
