AR Financing for Downtown Crossing businesses

If your business runs out of Downtown Crossing, accounts receivable financing turns the invoices you've already issued into working capital. A pedestrian retail and office area in central Boston where wholesalers, facility contractors and security providers serve stores and offices whose parent companies settle invoices on corporate schedules.

Massachusetts's wider economy runs on biotech, healthcare, higher-ed services and advanced manufacturing, and Downtown Crossing feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies in Boston qualify alongside established ones.

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