What is Supply Chain Finance (SCF)
TIM offers Supply Chain Finance to Australian businesses with proven track records. With our strong financial position and expertise in trade transactions, it allow us to quickly structure the best funding solution for your business. Simple and straightforward!
The key concept behind supply chain finance is to pay your suppliers as quickly as possible in order to take advantage of early settlement discounts. In simple terms, it allows the buyer (you or your business) to pay later and the supplier to secure payments earlier, allowing both parties to improve their working capital position.
How it works?
- You receive invoices from your suppliers for goods received.
- You send us the invoices confirming its good to pay.
- Early payment is offered to your suppliers for a small discount.
- The supplier elects to be paid early.
- TIM pays the supplier immediately.
- You pay TIM the invoice (less the discount received from your supplier) 30-90 days later.
- All we charge you is a small fee which is completely offset against the early payment discount that you receive from your suppliers resulting in “zero” cost of funding and pure profit for your business.
