What we offer


Purchase Order Financing

Purchase order financing (also know as “PO financing”) is a solution businesses use to help pay their suppliers for existing orders. This type of financing allows you to meet your manufacturing demands even if you don’t have the upfront capital to do so.

This type of financing is crucial for maintaining production schedules and meeting customer demand, without straining your cash flow.

Working Capital

Working capital financing is a type of lending that allows your business to borrow money to cover your day-to-day operations such as payroll and other essential expenses.

Ideal for businesses with inconsistent cash flow, this financing ensures your operations run smoothly, allowing you to focus on growth.
