A waste management SME was awarded a significant three-year contract to supply, deliver, and offload bulk skip containers in Ekurhuleni.

While the contract value was substantial, the client faced a critical constraint: they lacked the upfront capital needed to procure and deliver the containers.

Traditional bank funding was not accessible due to a low credit score, despite the confirmed purchase order. Without immediate funding, the contract would have been cancelled, resulting in lost revenue and reputational damage.

We structured a tailored Purchase Order Financing facility aligned to the contract
requirements.

AFG funded the supply and delivery component of the project, enabling the client to:

• Procure the required bulk containers
• Manage delivery and offloading logistics
• Execute within the agreed timelines

Approval and funding were finalised within four days, ensuring the project commenced without delay.

With AFG’s support, the client successfully fulfilled the purchase order.

The funding enabled:

• On-time delivery
• Stabilised and improved cash flow
• Capacity to pursue additional and repeat projects

By unlocking access to project-specific funding, the client secured a long-term revenue stream over three years while strengthening their operational footprint in the waste management sector.

This transaction demonstrates how Purchase Order Financing can unlock substantial public and municipal contracts, even where traditional funding is unavailable.

At AFG, we focus on funding confirmed opportunities rather than historical credit limitations.

If your business has been awarded a contract but lacks the upfront capital to deliver, AFG’s Purchase Order Funding can help you execute with confidence.
