Working Capital

Don't let supplier payments restrict international growth.

International growth often means paying suppliers before cash is received from customers. MaxWellStone helps businesses understand and structure this working capital requirement.

Where appropriate, eligible businesses can be introduced to Ebury for purchase finance solutions.

The Working Capital Gap

Growth consumes cash before it generates cash.

A typical international trading cycle may involve:

01

Place an order.

02

Pay the supplier.

03

Ship the goods.

04

Hold inventory.

05

Sell to customers.

06

Wait for customer payment.

The period between paying the supplier and receiving the customer payment creates a working capital requirement. As sales grow, this requirement can increase.

Ebury Financing

Purchase finance for international growth.

Ebury provides purchase finance designed to give eligible businesses additional working capital flexibility.

Depending on approval and eligibility, purchase finance can help businesses fund eligible supplier payments and manage the cash-flow gap created by international purchasing.

Potential objectives include:

MaxWellStone helps assess whether purchase finance is the right tool for these objectives, or whether another structure fits better.

Financing is provided by the relevant Ebury entity and is subject to Ebury's credit assessment, eligibility criteria, applicable terms and jurisdictional availability. MaxWellStone does not provide the financing.

Funding Solutions

One working capital requirement. Multiple possible solutions.

Purchase finance is one potential solution. MaxWellStone can assess the wider financing requirement and, where appropriate, compare it with other funding structures.

The objective is not to sell a predetermined product. It is to identify an appropriate capital structure for the business.

  • Working capital facilities
  • Invoice finance
  • Asset finance
  • Commercial lending
  • Business loans
  • Growth capital
  • Purchase finance through Ebury
Who It May Suit

Purchase finance may be relevant where:

  • Suppliers require payment before customers pay
  • International purchasing creates long cash cycles
  • Inventory requirements are increasing
  • The business is growing faster than available working capital
  • Larger supplier orders could improve commercial terms
  • Existing banking facilities are restrictive
  • International expansion increases inventory requirements

MaxWellStone can help you work out whether your business fits this picture before approaching Ebury.

Availability remains subject to Ebury assessment and approval.
