Around Ferndale we see the most demand from manufacturing, construction, tech & services companies, plus professional services firms and B2B suppliers billing on net-30 to net-90 terms.

Do I need an office in Ferndale to qualify?

No. What matters is that your business is US-registered and invoices creditworthy commercial or government customers. Home-based and mobile operators across the Detroit metro qualify on the same basis.

Yes. Your customers can be anywhere in the United States — several of our Michigan clients invoice nationally. We assess each customer's credit, not their location.
