Typically 1.5%–4% flat per load, with up to 97% of the load advanced. Location doesn't change pricing — your rate is set by monthly volume, your customers' credit and how quickly they pay.

Do I need an office in Lake Street Corridor 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 Minneapolis qualify on the same basis.

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

Freight Factoring for Lake Street Corridor businesses

Lake Street Corridor sits inside one of Minneapolis's working commercial districts. A long east-west commercial spine across south Minneapolis lined with small manufacturers, importers, contractors and service businesses whose commercial and institutional customers pay on monthly or longer cycles. We fund companies there with freight factoring, typically same day after delivery.

Construction & Contractors is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for freight factoring: customers pay in 45–90 days, often with retainage, while wages and suppliers do not wait. Construction factoring advances against approved progress billings so you can staff and supply the next phase.

We work across Minneapolis and the rest of Minnesota, so a facility set up for your Lake Street Corridor operation covers additional locations without a new application.
