Purchase Order Case StudyGAME BOARD DISTRIBUTOR, CA
CHALLENGE:• CA based game board distributor was short of working capital, which limited its
opportunities for growth. In addition, its overseas supplier relationships were becoming increasingly difficult, because of slow payments.
SOLUTION:• This distributor turned to Franklin for a combination of Accounts Receivable and
Purchase Order financing. • Franklin provided a Letter of Credit to the Distributor’s vendor that incorporated
product specifications, delivery conditions and quality control requirements, thus helping control risk.

thrive.• Franklin’s Purchase Order Program allowed the distributor, through Letters of Credit
issued to its suppliers, to make its payments contingent on the performance of its suppliers; therefore, substantially mitigating a significant risk for the distributor.
