The challenge

Wholesale commerce often pays for its stock before its own customers pay. Capital is tied up in inventory and receivables at the same time: two cycles pulling at your treasury.

The solution

Confirming gives you more time to pay stock suppliers, and the funder's offer sets the term. Factoring advances B2B invoices from large orders: once a bank or funder approves, the money arrives in 1 to 2 business days. Together, they work on both sides of your cash cycle.

What shapes the sector

  • Receivables: B2B customers who pay later than you pay your suppliers
  • Payables: stock suppliers on shorter terms
  • Stock: capital locked in inventory, with seasonal peaks

How Advanta adapts to your sector

Commerce runs three cycles at once: receivables, payables and inventory. From your invoices, Advanta measures how long your customers take to pay you and how long you take to pay your suppliers, so you can see where factoring or confirming frees up the most cash.
