What is Supply-Chain Finance  

Supply-chain finance is a form of supplier finance in which suppliers can receive early payment on their invoices. Supply chain finance reduces the risk of supply chain disruption and enables both buyers and suppliers to optimize their working capital. It's also known as reverse factoring. Though the tool can be helpful for companies with healthy balance sheets, some companies use it to disguise their financial performance, making it a target for increased regulatory scrutiny. It's essential to stay abreast of what's going on if you engage or plan to engage in this type of financing.
