Solve Cash Flow Problems with PO Funding
Get the working capital you need to fulfil any purchase orders and grow your business.
If your business struggles with cash flow due to large orders, purchase order funding is the solution. Unahina Solutions provides up to 100% funding for your purchase orders, helping you fulfil your orders without financial stress and allowing you to grow your business.
What is Purchase Order Funding?
Purchase order funding (PO Funding), also known as purchase order finance, is a short-term financing solution that covers the cost of fulfilling large orders. It is designed to help businesses fulfil purchase orders without the need for a traditional bank loan.
How does PO Funding Work?
- If you have been awarded a purchase order but don’t have the cash flow to fulfil it.
- We will provide funding with a profit sharing model.
- You only pay us back when you get paid, no monthly instalments.

Instead of getting a traditional bank loan with monthly instalments, Purchase Order Finance gives you the capital to deliver on large orders without delays.

What You Need to Know About Purchase Order Finance
If you’ve already delivered the goods and issued an invoice, then Invoice Funding may be more suitable. But if you need capital before delivery, Purchase Order Finance is your solution.
What is Invoice Funding (Financing)?
Invoice financing is a way to access cash flow while you wait for payments from your end user (customer). With invoice financing, we give you a portion of the outstanding invoices upfront. This type of finance is particularly for businesses that have a 30 day to 90 day payment term with their clients and are struggling with clash flow due to the long payment terms.

- SME’s with government supply chain orders
- Wholesalers & resellers

Frequently Asked Questions
Who Uses Purchase Order Funding (Financing)
If your customer places a large order and you don’t have the cash flow to pay your supplier immediately, then PO funding can help you fulfil that order in time
Businesses that may use this type of funding include:
- Resellers
- Wholesalers
- Distributors
- Outsource manufacturers
- Businesses with increased seasonal sales
- Businesses that cannot afford to fulfil a big order due to limited cash flow
If your business relies on external suppliers for products that you resell, you can benefit from PO funding. With the help of Purchase Order Finance, you can grow your business and onboard customers that you may not have been able to without the funding and expertise.
Keep in mind that if you have already delivered goods to a customer and invoiced them, then you should apply for invoice funding, not PO funding.
What are the Advantages of PO Funding?
- Fast access to working capital
- No monthly instalments
- No personal guarantees required
- Flexible and scalable with your growth
- Helps build supplier trust
What are the Disadvantages of PO Funding?
- PO funding is strictly a short-term solution and must be repaid when your client pays you.
- Profit sharing ratio may vary based on your agreement, size of the order, amount of funding needed and how long it will take to complete.
How Purchase Order Funders Make Their Money
To qualify, the profit margin on your purchase order has to be sufficient for the funding provider to consider it viable.
