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?
