What are Financial Services for Supply Chain?
Financial services in supply chain include freight factoring, working capital lines, trade finance, equipment financing, freight collections, and fractional CFO services for logistics businesses. They help carriers, brokers, 3PLs, and shippers manage the cash-flow timing mismatch between paying for fuel, payroll, and equipment versus collecting from customers.
