Purchase Order Financing is used to pay your suppliers, laborers, or other
intermediaries for goods or services to generate additional sales. A
company will need purchase order financing when:
- You need expertise to handle the financing
- You need additional working capital
- You need a quick response to an immediate sales need
- You don’t want to incur additional credit risk, be it foreign
or domestic
- You want your buyers and sellers to not know each other
- You want the opportunity to make additional profit
J&D Financial understands all the above reasons and will work with you to
fulfill your needs.
We finance purchase orders for all types of
transactions that include:
- U.S. Supplier to U.S. Buyer
- U.S. Supplier to Foreign Buyer
- Foreign Supplier to U.S. Buyer
- Foreign Supplier to Foreign Buyer
Every purchase order transaction stands on its own. We look at your
business history, the credit worthiness of the buyer, the ability of your
supplier to produce the goods, and if the transaction is profitable for all
parties.
Business History
We consider funding those organizations with a track record of producing
goods. Your company may be young or a start-up, but your company management
must have a proven track record to produce the goods.
Buyers Purchase Order
Your buying firm must be reputable with a good credit line. The purchase
order must be verifiable.
Suppliers
Your suppliers must know your product and be able to produce it in time and
to meet your buyer’s terms. The supplier must be a firm with a good
business history and track record of producing goods.
Profitability
The transaction after all expenses must make a profit for all parties.
Payment of the money lent to support the transaction can come from any
number of sources such as factored receivables.
Purchase Order Financing is available only to qualified customers. P.O.
Financing falls into two types:
- Finished Goods
- Non-Finished Goods
Finished Goods refers to transactions where the goods are never touched by
you. Usually these goods go directly from your supplier to your buyer. You
never take direct possession.
Non-Finished Goods are when you the seller take possession of the goods
either in a raw state (such as yarn to make blue jeans) or a semi finished
state (partially sewn blue jeans). In either case you must take
possession of the product.
Finished Goods are easier to finance than Non-Finished Goods. We will need to assess your ability to complete the transaction in
processing the goods for the final shipment to your buyer. J&D Financial
Corporation finances both Finished and Non-Finished purchase order
financing.
In order to consider P.O. Financing for your firm we will need:
- Completed P.O. Application Form
- Your invoice to buyer
- Your supplier’s invoice
- Your purchase order to your supplier
- Profit on transaction - gross margins >18% - see work sheet
- Business History
- P&L (most recent)
- Balance Sheet (most recent)
- Time frame to produce goods
- Credit information on your buyer
- Supplier Information
- Finished Goods or Non-Finished Goods.
Generally we charge 5% (sometimes more, sometimes less) one time fee for
purchase order financing on the gross amount to be paid by the buyer.
Sometimes there may be an additional interest charge on the money advanced
if the purchase order takes greater than 30 days to complete. Every
purchase order pricing is individual and unique. This purchase order fee
does not include the factoring fee which may cost an additional 3% to 6% if
you are factoring the receivable. (Want to know more about Factoring Fees?

purchase order transaction to be paid out by another factor or lender. In
order to see if the transaction will make money for both parties, please
fill out the worksheet section of the application form. As you can see the total cost of purchase
order financing fee and factoring fee can range from 8 to 11%. Since both
of us need to make money, the gross margin should be greater than 18%.
You are an apparel manufacturer. You have been in business for 5 years
and have a good Profit and Loss Statement and Balance Sheet. You just
received a large order and are maxed out on credit from your suppliers.
Your sales price to your buyer is $100,000 and your total cost to produce
the goods is $75,000. Your gross margin is 25%. J&D will purchase the
goods for you from your supplier, give you 45 days to produce the goods,
charge you a 5% purchase order fee ($5000, 5% of $100,000) and factor your
receivables.
You are importing telescopes from China. You do not need to touch the
goods, they will be shipped directly to the buyer, a large U.S. retailer.
The cost of the goods is $500,000 and you will sell them to the buyer for
$700,000. Gross margins are 20% (after all importing costs). J & D opens a
Letter of Credit to your supplier and will factor the receivables.
When the goods are shipped your Chinese supplier will get paid. When the
goods are landed in the U.S. and shipped to the U.S. buyer, J&D will factor
the receivable and pay the purchase order from the funds advanced.
You are an international fish broker. You are buying fish in Jakarta

collect payment from the Venezuelan buyer of $55,000, less our factoring
fees, insurance and inspection fees.
