Purchase Order Financing

Fund confirmed orders before customer payment arrives

When a confirmed customer order requires upfront supplier payments, production deposits, or shipment costs that strain working capital, Qualiteq advances the capital needed to fulfill it — repaid directly from the underlying buyer payment.

What it solves

Built around real commercial flow

Supplier deposits

Upfront payments to vendors or manufacturers required before production begins.

Production timing

Long lead times between order confirmation and shipment readiness.

Freight and logistics

Ocean freight, demurrage, customs, and inland costs before goods land.

Buyer payment lag

30–120 day customer terms that lock liquidity until invoice settles.

How it works

Every engagement follows the same disciplined path — from first conversation to funded facility.

  1. 1

    Share the order

    buyer, supplier, PO, shipment terms, expected payment date.

  2. 2

    Qualiteq verifies counterparties, documentation, and the repayment path

  3. 3

    Financing is structured against the specific transaction — often paying the supplier directly

  4. 4

    Goods move; the buyer pays per the original terms

  5. 5

    Qualiteq is repaid from the buyer payment; remaining proceeds net of fees go to the borrower

Worked example

A $500,000 confirmed PO, funded

You hold a confirmed order from a creditworthy buyer but lack the cash to pay your supplier. Qualiteq pays the supplier directly, you fulfill, and the receivable repays the facility.

Illustrative only — actual advance rates, fees, and terms vary by transaction.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How is PO financing different from a bank line of credit?
Bank lines are sized to your balance sheet and historical financials. Purchase order financing is sized to the specific confirmed order — the buyer, supplier, and expected payment all factor in, so growth orders that would breach a bank line can still be funded.
Do you pay our supplier directly?
Often, yes. In many structures Qualiteq pays the supplier directly against verified order documentation, which is also what gives the supplier comfort to ship.
What buyer profiles do you finance against?
Established commercial, government, and downstream buyers across the US, UK, EU, and Canada where payment performance and creditworthiness can be evaluated.
What industries do you cover?
Distribution, wholesale, manufacturing, import/export, consumer goods, industrial supply, and most B2B verticals with verifiable purchase orders.
