Simply defined, supply chain finance (SCF) is an arrangement whereby:
== Summary ==
*A supplier of goods or services is able to obtain finance

*Based on the existence of a receivable due from the purchaser of those goods or services.
 
If the arrangement is [[non-recourse]] to the supplier then the funding will be based on the credit standing of the purchaser. 
 
In this simple sense, supply chain finance is a form of [[invoice discounting]], but is usually distinguished by the fact that there is a well structured scheme or arrangement to facilitate that invoice discounting, very often involving electronic invoicing, record keeping or communication.
 
 
Defined more broadly, supply chain finance can be viewed as:
*The use of financing and risk mitigation techniques
*To improve the management of the working capital and liquidity invested in supply chain processes and transactions.
