ABSTRACT
In the new era, the traditional mode of bank credit cannot meet the requirement of
financing for the development of small-and-medium-sized companies anymore. The
supply chain finance has made its debut accordingly. The supply chain finance is taking
the supply chain management as background to expand the way of financing for
small-and-medium-sized companies. At the same time, it enhances the total
competitiveness of the supply chain and exploits the new field of bank credit business.
The generalized concept of supply chain finance management is to manage all the
activities that involving capital flow in the supply chain coordinately. It is based on the
analysis of the inner transaction structure from the bank; by adding the risk control

provide the comprehensive finance services like enclosed credit extension, closing and

financing business modes.

financing company as the main body and the supply chain finance as the object of study,
