Accounts receivable factoring vs. Purchase Order Financing
Accounts receivable factoring can only be used when the work is completed and accepted by the customer. The customer has to be satisfied with the work before the invoice can be financed. Pre-billing for work is unacceptable. The risk is based on the creditworthiness of your business customer.
In contrast to A/R funding, P/O (Purchase Order) funding can be obtained on the signing of a valid purchase order, before delivery. The goods need not even be manufactured yet. A valid order to purchase is acceptable. Pre- billing is acceptable

Purchase order financing (P/O)
Purchase Order Financing ( PO) is most needed when cash flow reserves become insufficient. An example is: Your suppliers want you to pay C.O.D. and your buyers want to pay you on terms of 30 to 60 days. You have no cash flow during manufacturing, while the goods are in transit, and until your invoices are paid.

With Purchase order financing through Shield, we can resolve this dilemma. Our funding pays for the cost of your goods directly to your supplier and frees up your cash for other critical business expenses.Shield provides purchase order finance, enabling companies to take advantage of sales growth opportunities that are larger than they can finance internally, and to overcome the lack of working capital to get deals done. We have the capability, international network and funding capacity secure purchase order financing for Chinese, USA and International companies, whether they are engaged in domestic or cross border trade.
