### How can Flexport Capital help you?

Flexport Capital offers end to end financing solutions tailored to your unique supply chain and business needs, helping you cover costs, smooth cash flows, and unlock capital for growth.

### How does Flexport Capital work?

You get a credit limit, and you finance inventory and logistics costs on as many invoices as you’d like, up to that limit. Each invoice that you finance has a fixed term of 30-120 days. Your outstanding balance will change over time as you pay down financed invoices and finance new invoices as they’re issued.
