Freight Factoring for PortMiami businesses

PortMiami sits inside one of Miami's working commercial districts.

We fund companies there with freight factoring, typically same day after delivery.

Florida's wider economy runs on Latin American trade, construction, tourism staffing and healthcare, and PortMiami feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies in Miami qualify alongside established ones.

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