This article provides an overview of the main ingredients of the new academic topic of supply chain finance (SCF), as well as a practical case study in order to illustrate the state of the art of its business implementation at an SME. The literature review shows that the main theoretical influences on SCF is corporate finance. Topics like working capital management, DuPont analysis, Risk management, Capi-tal Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and Economic Value Added (EVA) are discussed. The following con-textual theoretical influences will also be discussed: Supply Chain Management, Purchase, Forecast-ing, Advanced Planning and Scheduling, and ICT/ERP. On the basis of a case study we investigate whether SCF is ready to be implemented in the SME context of an SME or not.
