Food & Beverage Distribution invoice financing

Food & Beverage Distribution

Paid in 21–45 days from grocers and foodservice

Perishable goods move fast but grocers and foodservice buyers still pay on terms, creating constant cash pressure.

Food factoring advances on grocery and foodservice invoices; PO financing can fund large seasonal buys.

  • Produce & protein purchases
  • Cold-chain logistics
  • Grocery chain orders
Food & Bev financing
Import & Export invoice financing

Import & Export

Paid in 60–120 days including transit

Overseas suppliers want payment or letters of credit before goods ship, and transit adds weeks before you can invoice.

Trade-focused PO financing issues LCs or wires to foreign suppliers, then converts to AR financing on delivery.

  • Letters of credit
  • Supplier wires
  • Freight & duties
Import/Export financing
Apparel & Textiles invoice financing

Apparel & Textiles

Paid in 60–90 days from retailers

Big-box retailers demand long terms and chargebacks while overseas mills want deposits before production.

  • Production deposits
  • Letters of credit
  • Seasonal inventory
Apparel financing
