AR Financing for Old First Ward businesses

Old First Ward sits inside one of Buffalo's working commercial districts. The grain-elevator and milling district along the Buffalo River, where flour and feed processors, rail-served industry and marine contractors supply commercial buyers that pay weeks after shipments are delivered. We fund companies there with accounts receivable financing, typically 24–48 hours after approval.

New York's wider economy runs on New York City's fashion, media, staffing and import trade, and Old First Ward feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies in Buffalo qualify alongside established ones.

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