Is A Huge Sale A Dream Or A Nightmare?
Have you ever dreamed of that Big Sale? Sure you have; everyone that owns a company has. That is why you are in business to start with. But what will happen when you get that massive order? How will you be able to afford to deliver it? It is twice the size of your Operational Line of Credit.
This has happened to other companies and it can happen to you to. After you get over the initial rush of the big order and you think of all the cash that will be coming in, then you think How can I possibly pull this order off? You will need to hire staff, buy equipment, pay for materials and you do not have the money for that. That is exactly what happened to a company in New York State USA. The owner of the company just figured he would go to the bank and they would lend him the money he needed, but the bank declined him.
With this order, the customer had to have terms on the invoice of 30 days, and to make it worse the supplier required payment prior to shipping. The time to deliver the goods from the time it leaves the supplier dock is 10 days. In this case we have a 10 day delivery time plus a 30 day collection time from the customer, so we have a 40 time span of where we do not have the financial capacity to handle the order. So what now? Decline the order?
That is an option, but the owner of the company kept looking for a solution. He ended up speaking with an Accounts Receivable Factoring Company, but they could not help because of the time span as well since they could only fund on open invoices on delivered goods. The goods could not be delivered without payment and he could not get payment at this point without delivering the goods. Quite a predicament.
Through the use of a Commercial Finance Broker, a facility for Purchase Order Finance and Accounts Receivable Factoring was created. The order was able to be accepted which opened the door for future order from this customer and others just like them.
