CONTRACT
FINANCING
Contract Financing is provided to
businesses that do not produce their own products but rather contract
out manufacture and fulfillment to another company, whether it is
foreign or domestic. In this case you have received a valid Purchase
Order from XYZ Company, a credit worthy customer, for 1,000 units @
$200.00/unit. You inform your manufacturer you will need 1,000 units
delivered to XYZ Company by a certain date. They tell you they will
need $100,000.00 to produce and deliver. With contract financing in
place, the money is provided by the investor to have the product
produced, insured and delivered to your customer. Typically, there
will be a factoring relationship in place to "take out" (pay
off) the contract financing once the product is delivered. This type
of financing is also used for import and export. PLEASE NOTE: It is
important to understand that this type of financing is not for
inventory build up, but rather is for fulfillment only. Fees tend to
be higher and advances lower then with factoring, because of the
greater risk to the investor.
