The work behind deliver the contract before the payment arrivesWhy this financing matters
Finance the opportunity—not just the history.
WTE Bank finances the working capital required to fulfill substantial customer orders—including materials, inventory, labor, production, freight and other execution costs.
Execution matters more than appearances
The financing case can be built around the order, buyer, margins, supplier plan, delivery schedule and payment terms—not merely a conventional borrowing profile.
Finance the path from purchase order to payment
Connect the amount requested directly to the costs required to perform the order and the expected collection cycle.
Financing that helps you say yes to the order
Win the order. Finance the delivery.
A large order can create a financing need precisely because it is valuable. Order financing can provide the capital required to perform the contract while preserving cash for the rest of the business.
01
Fund the inputs
Finance raw materials, purchased goods, supplier deposits, manufacturing and other direct costs required to produce the order.
02
Pay for execution
Cover labor, subcontractors, freight, logistics and fulfillment costs needed to deliver according to the contract.
03
Bridge delivery to payment
Provide working capital through milestones, delivery and the customer payment period so the order does not drain normal operations.
An order-linked financing approach
Financing may be aligned with the purchase order, contract, delivery milestones and expected customer payments, with a structure matched to the transaction.
