How One Buyer Used Supplier Financing to Extend Payment Terms

In this episode of The Buyer's Side, Lucas and Luna explore how a mid-size manufacturer used supply chain finance to extend payment terms from 30 to 90 days without hurting suppliers. They break down the specific mechanics: how the buyer set up a reverse factoring program through a third-party financier, how suppliers could cash out early at a low discount rate, and why this improved the buyer's working capital by $4 million in the first year. The hosts also discuss the risks of pushing terms too far, including supplier pushback and hidden costs in the financing fee structure. A concrete, numbers-driven case study for procurement professionals considering payment term optimization. #SupplyChainFinance #ReverseFactoring #PaymentTerms #WorkingCapital #Procurement #SupplierRelations #Liquidity #CashFlow #B2B #Finance #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Sourcing #Negotiation #MidSizeManufacturing #TradeFinance #PaymentOptimization #SupplyChain Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
