Decision lens. Start by identifying the commercial objective, the evidence available and the risk that a licensed institution is being asked to accept. Product selection comes after that analysis.
Start with the cash conversion cycle
Map the days between paying a supplier, holding inventory, delivering to the buyer and collecting the invoice. This reveals whether the pressure sits before shipment, during production or after delivery.
A facility should release and repay in step with a documented commercial event. When tenor and use of funds are mismatched, otherwise healthy growth can create unnecessary strain.
- Inventory and procurement timing
- Debtor days and customer concentration
- Seasonal order peaks
- Currency of costs and collections
Choose the structure that follows the transaction
Receivables finance may suit completed sales on credit terms. Purchase-order or trade finance may be more relevant before delivery. A short-term corporate facility can be appropriate where the use of funds is broader and recurring.
MCV helps businesses compare structures, prepare the transaction narrative and present a verified file to licensed funding partners.
What a funder will test
Expect review of trading history, bank statements, management accounts, buyer and supplier quality, existing indebtedness and the evidence supporting the underlying trade.
A concise funding memo that reconciles requested amount, tenor, repayment source and downside case is more persuasive than a large folder of disconnected documents.

Common questions
What finance teams ask first.
What is working capital finance?
It is short-duration funding intended to support day-to-day trading needs such as inventory, supplier payments or the period before customer invoices are collected. The licensed funder sets the final structure and terms.
How much working capital should a business request?
The request should be tied to a documented cash-cycle gap and realistic transaction volume, with headroom for timing variation. A larger unsupported request can weaken a funding case.
Does MCV provide the finance?
No. Mint Capital Vertex structures, verifies and presents a funding case. Any facility is provided, approved and documented by the relevant licensed funder.
A live requirement deserves a clear file
