Breakout Session #4
Inventory Financing:
How Factors are Using Inventory and PO Finance to Keep Up with the Demand For More Availability
Factors and even ABL's have basically relied on Accounts Receivable as their collateral on B2B sales. Advance rates of 80% to 90% have been the norm. Inventory was many times considered an after thought. In many cases lenders would not even finance and other providers would come in to include Purchase Order Finance firms. Inventory financing up to 50% was a basic in many cases depending on stages of inventory and seasonal issues. That said, during COVID and the supply chain issues, there was more reliance on Inventory Financing that exceeded usual borrowing levels and not in tandem with A/R. Now with E-Commerce being a new way for Factors and ABL's to operate, using B2C prevails and A/R is replaced by credit cards and Inventory Lending is key.
