Different Perspectives on Supply Chain Finance – In search of a holistic approach

• This chapter discusses from a logistics services, financial and legal standpoint the possibility to deliver Supply Chain Finance (SCF) solutions to the entire supply chain. Particularly the potential new role of Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) as independent third parties that can assist in verification and risk assessment for trade financiers or add SCF to the service portfolio. Based on a conceptual model defining SCF and financial supply chain management, the research approach includes conceptual development complemented by financial and legal analysis. The findings in the areas of information asymmetry, visibility, working capital and division of roles can foster innovation in the financial technology arena for greater financial inclusion in international trade.
