Invoice Factoring for Lockport businesses

Lockport sits in the Buffalo metro, and we fund companies there on the same terms as the city itself. A Niagara County seat on the Erie Canal where automotive and precision manufacturers, staffing agencies and trade contractors along Transit Road and South Transit Street invoice plants and institutions on standard net terms.

Manufacturing is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for invoice factoring: customers pay in 45–90 days from OEMs and distributors, while wages and suppliers do not wait. AR financing unlocks cash tied up in shipped orders, while PO financing can fund materials for large new contracts.

We work across Lockport, Buffalo and the rest of New York, so one facility covers every site you operate without a new application.
