Buyers realize longer payment terms and suppliers have the option of immediate payouts based on attractive financing conditions. Both sides benefit from higher liquidity and optimized Working Capital.

Market Insights

Icon_Working_Capital

Working Capital

Traditionally, Working Capital and growth are financed by credit institutions. In the case of loans and factoring, complexity and risk costs incur, which are passed on to borrowers through non-transparent price structures, resulting in goods and services having to be pre-financed at high effective costs. cflox is a market in which buyers and their suppliers jointly optimize the financing of Working Capital. Cash flow is based on confirmed invoices and thus minimizes costs – directly, transparently, and cooperatively.

Financing

While many companies have optimized their internal financing, the financing of products and services across the supply chain is often inefficient: As financial institutions focus solely on the individual company and therefore require substantial collateral, lending is complex, time-consuming, and non-transparent. cflox bypasses traditional debt financing and the associated hurdles. By sharing the “asset” payment terms, we create efficient and direct processes that spare you unnecessary forms and ratings.

Asset-Based Finance

Whenever traditional financial institutions assess companies, they usually perceive them as self-contained units and individual risks. For us, on the other hand, there is a network of partners who create and share assets. By considering every claim and obligation as an asset, we recognize the true value of a business. With the help of the cflox market for Working Capital, we are therefore capable of financing individual assets within this network as efficiently and economically as possible. By using state-of-the-art technology, we can provide financing easily and without additional complexity.

Payment Terms

Agreements on payment terms have a twofold potential for conflict: Internally between procurement and financing department, externally between procurement and suppliers. Therefore, the ultimate goal is to find the right balance between specifications and negotiations and expansions and financing, as well as direct price reductions and Working Capital. Long payment terms, on the one hand, lead to increased financing costs, especially for smaller and structurally weaker suppliers. These will be reflected in the purchasing costs of the buyer in the medium and long term. Short payment terms, on the other hand, lead to savings on the part of the suppliers. However, these are rarely passed on to customers in the form of better prices. With cflox, suppliers’ financing costs, own Working Capital, and procurement costs can be optimized in a way that benefits all market participants.

Liquidity

Purchasing volumes, inventory, and revenue are non-static parameters. Consequently, liquidity and financing needs are dynamic and subject to significant fluctuations throughout the business cycle. Nevertheless, static solutions with long-term maturity and obligations dominate the financing market. With cflox, we offer a solution that matches the dynamics of the market. By enabling purchasing companies and suppliers to jointly and flexibly optimize cash flow, liquidity is managed in line with the individual requirements of their business cycles.
