Helps reduce the cost of capital and help speed up cash flow. Accounts Receivable Securitization (ARS) is a committed, receivables-backed facility that provides an incremental, low-cost funding source to the business to augment traditional credit facilities. ARS can be structured as debt secured by receivables or as a GAAP sale of receivables.
Helps improve cash flow and reduce risk. Key Accounts Purchase (KAP) is an uncommitted receivables purchase facility focusing on concentrated investment-grade customer accounts. KAP programs are used by companies to augment traditional credit facilities, as the programs make the receivables liquid without incurring debt.
Helps accelerate cash flow for quicker access to capital. Factoring enables a company to convert its accounts receivable to cash through sales of its business-to-business accounts receivable, arising from the sale of goods or provision of services.
Extend terms on payables to improve working capital metrics. Supplier finance programs enable the buyer to extend accounts payable terms, while at the same time, through the bank, offer the supplier the option to get paid early on that invoice at a rate that reflects the buyers’ creditworthiness.
Fueling innovation and growth, securing working capital, and extending payment terms. As a reseller, distributor, or vendor in the technology industry, Channel Finance is a widely accepted form of working capital financing for the information technology supply chain.
