AR Financing for Columbia City businesses

Columbia City sits in the Fort Wayne metro, and we fund companies there on the same terms as the city itself. A Whitley County seat west of Fort Wayne where automotive and plastics suppliers, staffing agencies and trade contractors along US-30 invoice manufacturers and institutions on standard net terms long after shipment.

Indiana's wider economy runs on automotive parts, RV manufacturing and pharmaceutical supply, and Columbia City feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies across the Fort Wayne metro qualify alongside established ones.

Everything is handled online and by phone — there's no branch to visit in Columbia City, and no requirement to pledge real estate. Facilities run from $25,000 to $25 million and grow as your invoicing grows.
