Invoice Factoring for Millbrae businesses

Millbrae sits in the San Francisco metro, and we fund companies there on the same terms as the city itself. An airport-adjacent Peninsula suburb where hotel services, ground transportation, freight forwarding and facility maintenance firms cluster near the Millbrae Transit Center and bill airline, hospitality and corporate accounts weeks after the work is delivered.

Import & Export is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for invoice factoring: customers pay in 60–120 days including transit, while wages and suppliers do not wait. Trade-focused PO financing issues LCs or wires to foreign suppliers, then converts to AR financing on delivery.

We work across Millbrae, San Francisco and the rest of California, so one facility covers every site you operate without a new application.
