De 'ins and outs' of Supplied Change Finance

On October 2, 2014, Integrated Finance Solutions organised an informative meeting on the ‘ins and outs’ of Supply Chain Finance (SCF) in cooperation with Dutch SCF expert & Associate Partner Mrs. Anita Gerrits.

SCF allows both buyer and supplier to optimise working capital and reduce financing costs at the same time. During the meeting, Mrs. Gerrits elaborated on this specific type of financing which is relatively new to Dutch companies. Practical examples were provided based on a SCF solution that had recently been realised for a Dutch procurement cooperative under her supervision. The interactive character of the meeting allowed the participants to pose a broad range of questions, the answers consequently leading to the how and why of this finance solution.

Feedback
Mr. Bert Faber, Director DeLaval International: "I greatly appreciated this meeting."

Mrs. Meltem Klaassen, CFO Redstar: "The meeting was very informative, where an in Holland unknown form of financing was discussed, we were invited to think differently on the financing of our company. The speaker, Mrs. Gerrits, is clearly very passionate on the subject and ambitious in her missionary work around SCF in the Netherlands.

Mr. Alfred Driessen, Finance Director Johma Salads: "Great meeting. A thorough explanation of the supply chain financing principle, clarifying that it can lead to a win-win situation. SCF removes a great deal of the skepticism around an inequitable customer / supplier relationship.

Mr. Jan Slingerland, Controller Royal Lemkes Group: "Good meeting. Very educational. Mrs. Gerrits is someone who has a lot of knowledge on the subject. A few practical tips were very useful for me, in particular her advice on the selection of a SCF platform."
