News Release
Armada Mercantile Ltd., (Symbol: ARM and AAMTF) announces that Oxygen Funding, Inc. (“Oxygen”), an affiliated ownership company of Armada Group USA, Inc., has completed the infrastructure setup to begin offering supply chain products and services nationwide. Oxygen’s underwriting and servicing platform allows for a swift startup into supply chain with capital on hand and minimal staffing needs. Supply Chain Finance refers to financing the suppliers and vendors of our existing clients. This usually is accomplished by the funder, in this case Oxygen, paying the supplier directly and then repayment is made at a later date by our client. The advantage to our client is the ability to pay suppliers very quickly and qualify for early payment discounts. The additional benefit our client receives is the ability to avoid artificially limited supplier purchases caused by temporary insufficient cash conditions. Oxygen seeks to yield as high as 22% on average for supply chain transaction.
