A Birmingham-based manufacturing company has secured a five-figure Supply Chain Finance facility through Navigate Commercial Finance to successfully deliver a significant new order.
The contract was heavily front-end loaded, with substantial upfront costs for materials and labour. Coupled with 60-day customer payment terms, this created a significant working capital gap that needed to be bridged quickly to enable the project to start on time.
Recognising the opportunity, our team structured a Supply Chain Finance solution based on the strength of the confirmed order. The facility was approved and funds made available within just 10 working days, allowing the business to purchase materials, mobilise labour, and commence production without delay.
This timely funding has enabled the company to deliver the contract profitably, strengthen its balance sheet, and reinject valuable cash back into the business for future growth.
Supply Chain Finance proved to be the perfect tool for this scenario, providing fast, order-specific funding that traditional lending routes could not match in speed or flexibility.
The successful outcome has given the manufacturer the confidence and capital required to take on larger opportunities and continue building momentum in a competitive market.
