Value Chain Finance
We provide solutions throughout the entire value chain. We purchase inventory and receivables while also paying your suppliers directly and earlier than the agreed upon terms. This is achieved under one integrated facility or a bespoke facility that is custom tailored to your company’s operating footprint. Within the Netherlands, Value Chain Finance focusses on all sectors of the economy. Elsewhere our focus is on clients in the Food & Agri space and clients that are active in the Energy Transition. Our vision is to be the leading value chain finance provider for our customers through unparalleled service, knowledge, and innovative and sustainable solutions globally.
Our solutions
Value Chain Finance offers tailored solutions to accelerate the cash conversion cycle in your receivables portfolio (short or longterm), to offer portfolio/exposure management for customer concentrations and to enable non-recourse or limited recourse solutions. Value Chain Finance offers a range of solutions for the financing or purchase of receivables. We base our solutions on your specific business characteristics and international footprint; whether your company has a concentrated customer base or thousands of debtors/customers.
Our product suite includes individual receivables monetisations, factoring type solutions, portfolio-based financing and securitisations. Our facilities offer access to funding via Rabobank’s balance sheet or through the capital markets via an asset backed commercial paper programme that is sponsored by Rabobank.
Main benefits
Inventory is at the core of any business. Value Chain Finance provides ownership based solutions, as an alternative to regular financing. We cater for the necessary tools to manage your liquidity and/or inventory levels. Assets eligible under inventory offerings range all the way from exchange traded commodities to any other non-branded inventory stocks. Examples are: milk powder, cheeses and butter, coffee, cocoa, cotton, orange juice and base metals.
Main benefits
Payables or Supplier Finance enables you to offer your suppliers an alternative and competitive source of financing, based on a partnership involving you, your suppliers and Rabobank. Such a programme enables you to offer your suppliers the opportunity to receive payment earlier than the contractually agreed term from Rabobank that is financed at a discount. This discount is potentially lower than the supplier’s cost of capital and is based on the credit profile of your company and the remaining days in the payment term. When the invoice matures, you would then pay the full invoice amount to Rabobank at no further cost.
This solution gives you the opportunity to strengthen the relationship with your suppliers and ensures security in your supply chain. Our solution is fully-automated with no manual document handling. By connecting our proprietary platform to your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, you can limit any administrative burden on your staff.
