This form of lending changes nothing for the buyer and because it relies more on the financial strength of the supplier, it can be expensive for some firms. Additionally, factoring will usually only provide up to 80% of invoice value as an advance. With supply chain financing, the buyer seeks borrowing to extend payment terms for the supplies it purchases. The supplier does not sell their invoices to the lender. The buyer pays nothing for this form of lending, but they offer their financial strength as security for the loans.

The supplier is not locked into this arrangement, and they can select which invoices are repaid early, and how soon they will accept repayment \u2013 the quicker they want the cash, the more they pay. This form of flexible financing allows the buyer to extend their payment terms for some bills and make extra money from their surplus cash. The supplier gains earlier payment and control over which bills to discount and how much they pay in fees.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-992e2df question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"992e2df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sustainable supply chain finance explained<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a68fc4 answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a68fc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sustainable supply chain finance\u00a0is a term used to define supply chain finance practices that support trade transactions with minimal negative impact and that create environmental, social, and economic benefits for everyone involved in bringing products and services to market.<\/p><p>Primarily led by large, international corporations and financed by a growing number of banks and commercial lenders, sustainable supply chain finance is attempting to reduce and eventually eliminate fraud, abuse of workers\u2019 rights and destruction of the environment by rogue supplier companies and across global supply chains. One way that this is being pursued is by the offer of preferential supply chain financing to suppliers who can prove that they operate within the given boundaries of sustainable trade. This means they get paid sooner and at lower cost if they operate honestly, treat their workers with respect and do not engage in harmful environmental practices. Regular audits and digital tracing are used to ensure the supplier maintains their side of the bargain.<\/p><p>For the buyer, a successful outcome represents a double win: Firstly, it is cashflow positive as they can extend the grace period before they must pay their suppliers. Secondly, a clean and sustainable supply chain is a powerful marketing tool that resonates strongly with consumers. Organisations that can claim their supply chain is free from harmful practices will have a sales edge against competitors who cannot.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-983a70b question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"983a70b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Unsecured supply chain finance explained<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d69c2b answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d69c2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Unsecured supply chain finance is a financier\u2019s term used to describe the lack of tangible security in a supply chain financing transaction. Unlike invoice-financing, factoring, or bank loans, supply chain financing does not place a lien, (or claim ownership) on any assets in the transaction \u2013 such as invoices, a company\u2019s sales ledger, inventory, or hard assets such as property. Supply chain financing relies solely on the confidence that the buyer will pay a supplier\u2019s invoice. Because there is no other collateral involved it is called \u2018unsecured\u2019 and it is always short-term lending.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85dd202 question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"85dd202\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How do I apply?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81b6f15 answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"81b6f15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>No matter if you\u2019re a buyer or a seller, cash is king in business.
