What to bring to a funding conversation
Maintain buyer payment history and updated supplier pricing for each order.
A confirmed buyer order, the supplier's written quote, product and delivery terms, and a margin worksheet show how the transaction will be fulfilled.
Identify the buyer, transaction amount and the exact date cash is needed; a specific packet is more useful than a broad sales projection.
How to compare cost and timing
List each step—supplier payment, production, shipment, acceptance and the buyer's final payment—on a timeline. Ask for the total cost in dollars if the buyer pays on schedule and if payment is delayed.
A fee quote should explain when charges begin, whether there are minimums, and who receives customer payments.
Decision point
Repeat transactions may allow documents and relationships to be reviewed more efficiently.
Each new PO still needs confirmation and current economics.
Compare this proposal with a bank line, trade credit or self-funding using the same transaction and dates. The lowest advertised rate may not cover the cash need at the right time.
