A newer waterfront office and retail district east of the Inner Harbor housing financial, legal and corporate tenants whose vendors and staffing suppliers wait through corporate accounts-payable cycles.

Staffing Agencies is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for invoice factoring: customers pay in 30–60 days from clients, while wages and suppliers do not wait. Payroll funding advances against your weekly timesheets so placements never stall for lack of cash.
