Why use Purchase Order Funding

Bigger Opportunities

Take on large purchase orders or tenders without hesitating. We remove the financial roadblocks, empowering you to grow your business by landing bigger clients and contracts.

Maintain Cash Flow

Pay When You Get Paid

One of the biggest reliefs is that you only repay Unum Credit once your client pays you. There are no burdensome interim payments. If your client’s payment term is 30 days or 60 days, that’s when we get paid back. This aligns perfectly with your cash flow, you’re not out of pocket at any point.
