Overview

The Entire Ecosystem and Key Players

In a business setting, vendors are issued Purchasing Orders (PO) by companies in need of goods/services. Upon fulfilment of the PO, the vendor generates the associating invoice for rendered service for the Buyer (purchasing company).

The vendor is expected to fulfil a PO as soon as the buyer accepts the invoice. However, such buying companies possess policies that enable them to make payment after a specified time frame of an average of 15 – 45 days, after the invoice has been issued. Vendors in need of funding, are able to sell these invoices as short-term notes with invoice factoring to Financiers.

Small businesses wait an average of 40 days to get paid by clients, these long wait times stunt business growth, tying down much-needed funds to already executed projects.
