Direct answer

A lender may verify the supplier's identity, capacity and payment instructions before paying it.

A confirmed buyer order, the supplier's written quote, product and delivery terms, and a margin worksheet show how the transaction will be fulfilled. Eligibility is assessed on the actual transaction rather than a general claim that a business has sales.

How to assess this transaction

Collect the supplier quote, banking verification, production schedule and prior fulfillment evidence.

Trace the cash cycle from supplier payment, production, shipment, acceptance and the buyer's final payment. Identify which obligation falls due before the buyer pays and whether that stage has supporting records.

Where applications run into trouble

A fake or unproven supplier is a serious transaction risk.

Put this risk in writing when comparing proposals. Ask which part of the order or receivable would be excluded and whether approval depends on a document you have not yet obtained.

Practical next step

Gather the documents for one real transaction and ask National Invoice Factoring which parts can be reviewed. Share the expected payment date and existing lender arrangements so any quote reflects your situation.

For broader context, review purchase order financing alongside alternatives; no article can determine approval or pricing for an individual deal.
