Working capital is critical to every business. A long supply chain - and especially an international supply chain - ties up a great deal of working capital. Having to pay for supplies that may not reach you for weeks or months can mean a major cost, and the costs escalate every time gets higher when economic, political or environmental problems mean delays.
Supply Chain Finance can provide the solution.
A supply chain is a succession of businesses that depend on each other. Your business can’t function without its suppliers and your customers can’t function without you.
Cashflow problems occur when your supply chain doesn’t function properly. If you’re supplying a business that pays you in ninety days but you have to pay your supplier in thirty days, there are sixty days where you’re in a deficit. If this is a big-ticket contract you can run into big trouble. Supply chain finance, or reverse factoring, is a way to increase your access to working capital and reduce your supply chain risk. It can let you cut costs, increase supplier payment terms and get paid early.
It provides an external source of funding that optimises cash flow by allowing buyers to extend supplier payment terms, freeing up cash that would otherwise be trapped inside the supply chain.
Buyers can use increased cash flow to drive additional growth. Suppliers have the option to get paid early, typically as soon as an invoice has been approved by a buyer.
An invoice discount arrangement could provide an answer. Supply chain finance can provide a better one.
Supply chain finance pays you 100% of your invoices as cash, less a small discount. This can be provided as quickly as 24 hours after your customer has approved your invoice. It’s as if your customer has paid you cash, and there is no risk of a comeback from the lender.
If you’ve previously used invoice discounting, you know lenders will typically provide between 75% and 85% of your unpaid invoices - but if your customer does not pay, they will demand the money back from you. The money is simply an advance against an unpaid invoice, a debt that your business remains responsible for.
The disadvantages don't stop there. The charges that apply with invoice discounting are high. Set-up costs, annual charges and invoice costs can add up to a major drain on your profitability.
When you use supply chain funding you have just one simple fee. This is a small discount on your payment, and the rest of the money is yours - exactly as if you had been paid by your customer.
Modern supply chain finance helps ensure that businesses pay on time and get paid on time. It's fairer for everybody - and its simple to use:

Supply chain finance is beneficial for both buyers and suppliers as it helps both parties stabilise their cash flow.
Suppliers will receive similar benefits to invoice financing, and they will get paid within a few days rather than waiting for extended payment terms.
The supply chain is directly based on the buyer's credit rating; this means the costs will be lowered.
Buyers can extend their payment terms, ie. they can delay paying suppliers for longer than usual without directly putting pressure on their suppliers.
It's the lender whose working capital is affected - this leaves both buyers' and suppliers' working capital free to use for other business purposes.

Supply chain finance has recently been defined as a much broader category of trade financing as it encompasses all the financing opportunities across a supply chain. SCF is typically defined as a financial arrangement where the buyer will agree to approve his supplier's invoices for financing by a financier.

One of the main risks associated with supply chain finance is that banks or lenders can decide to withdraw funding or not renew a program which can happen in response to a deterioration in a customer's credit quality, decrease in market confidence, and a broader credit disruption.

Supply Chain Finance provides short-term credit for both the buyer and the seller - and potentially the supply chain in between. Instead of relying on the creditworthiness of the supplier, the lender deals with the buyer to arrange the funds required.
