Sector 02 Retail & wholesaleFactoring and confirming for commerce.
You buy stock today, sell tomorrow, get paid in 60 days. Confirming closes the gap.
The challenge
Wholesale commerce buys stock on 30-45 day terms but sells to customers who pay at 60-90 days. Capital is tied up in inventory and receivables at the same time — two cycles pulling at your treasury.
The solution
Confirming extends payment to stock suppliers by 30-120 days. Factoring advances B2B invoices from large orders. Together, they fully optimise your cash cycle.
Sector figures
- Average DSO in wholesale commerce: 35-50 days
- Average DPO: 30-45 days
- Average DIO: 30-60 days (capital locked in stock)
