Fast freight factoring for Richmond businesses

If your Richmond company is growing faster than your cash flow, freight factoring closes the gap. We fund businesses throughout Richmond and greater Virginia with decisions in days, not months — and without real-estate collateral.

Virginia's economy is anchored by federal contracting, data centers and the Port of Virginia. Those sectors run on net-30 to net-90 terms, which is exactly where freight factoring delivers the most value.

How it works in Richmond

  1. 1.Haul the load. Deliver as usual and collect the signed BOL or proof of delivery.
  2. 2.Upload paperwork. Send the rate con, BOL and invoice from your phone.
  3. 3.Same-day pay. Receive up to 97% by ACH or wire, often within hours.
  4. 4.We collect. The broker or shipper pays us on their normal terms; any reserve is released to you.
