Inventory financing: Freeing trapped cash to
meet growing consumer demand
The impact of supply chain disruption on US buyers has
forced firms to hold up to three times typical inventory
levels in order to guard against crippling supply chain
shortages and the related loss of revenue, tying up large
sums of crucial working capital. A resulting surge in
demand for inventory financing is being met by specialist
players, with the US banking sector’s ability to provide
end-to-end inventory solutions constrained by financial
regulation. This in-depth assessment will map the
inventory financing market, comparing offerings and the
various trends driving demand, supply and pricing, and
highlighting key best practices:
? What role does inventory financing typically play in a
wider working capital optimization strategy, and how do
lenders assess client viability?
? What are the risks associated with long term inventory
storage, and when could supplementary warehousing
solutions be appropriate?
? Highlighting challenges around pricing in a volatile
supply and demand environment
? How do market practices differ between the US and
other jurisdictions such as Europe?
