Detroit industries

Freight Factoring for Detroit's busiest sectors

Michigan's economy is built on automotive OEMs and their tiered supplier networks. These are the Detroit-area sectors that most often finance their receivables.

Wholesale & Distribution invoice financing

Wholesale & Distribution

Paid in 30–60 days from retailers and resellers

Distributors buy inventory upfront and extend credit to retailers, squeezing cash between both ends.

A combined PO + AR facility funds supplier purchases and then advances on the resulting invoices.

  • Inventory buys
  • Supplier deposits
  • Large retail orders
Distribution financing
Manufacturing invoice financing

Manufacturing

Paid in 45–90 days from OEMs and distributors

Raw materials, labor and machine time are paid upfront while OEM customers stretch terms to 60 or 90 days.

AR financing unlocks cash tied up in shipped orders, while PO financing can fund materials for large new contracts.

  • Raw materials
  • Production payroll
  • Equipment uptime
Manufacturing financing
Trucking & Freight invoice financing

Trucking & Freight

Paid in 30–60 days from brokers and shippers

Fuel, insurance, maintenance and driver pay are due every week, but brokers and shippers pay in 30 to 60 days.

Freight factoring turns each delivered load into cash — often the same day you upload the rate confirmation and signed BOL.

  • Fuel advances
  • Driver payroll
  • Truck repairs
Trucking financing
