AR Financing for Shafter businesses

Shafter sits in the Bakersfield metro, and we fund companies there on the same terms as the city itself. A Kern County town northwest of Bakersfield with rail logistics and agricultural packing, where carriers, cold storage operators and packers invoice wholesale buyers and shippers on extended terms.

Wholesale & Distribution is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for AR financing: customers pay in 30–60 days from retailers and resellers, while wages and suppliers do not wait. A combined PO + AR facility funds supplier purchases and then advances on the resulting invoices.

We work across Shafter, Bakersfield and the rest of California, so one facility covers every site you operate without a new application.

  3. 3.Receive your advance. We wire 80%–95% of the invoice value to your account, typically within 24 hours.
