The Inventory Financing Agreement is a specialized financing document used when businesses require working capital secured against their inventory. This agreement, governed by Nigerian law, enables companies to leverage their inventory as collateral while maintaining operational control over their stock. It is particularly relevant for businesses with significant inventory holdings seeking to optimize their working capital management. The document includes comprehensive provisions for security creation, inventory management, monitoring mechanisms, and enforcement rights, ensuring compliance with Nigerian legislation including the Secured Transactions in Movable Assets Act 2017 and Central Bank of Nigeria regulations. It's commonly used in manufacturing, trading, and distribution sectors where inventory forms a substantial part of business assets.
