AR Financing for Cottage Grove businesses

A southeast metro city with riverfront industry and business parks along Highway 61, where manufacturers, contractors and distributors bill regional customers on terms that run past delivery. National Invoice Factoring provides accounts receivable financing to Cottage Grove businesses, advancing 80%–95% of invoice value so payroll, materials and growth aren't gated by your customers' payment terms.

Manufacturing is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for AR financing: customers pay in 45–90 days from OEMs and distributors, while wages and suppliers do not wait. AR financing unlocks cash tied up in shipped orders, while PO financing can fund materials for large new contracts.

We work across Cottage Grove, St. Paul and the rest of Minnesota, so one facility covers every site you operate without a new application.
