PO Financing for Civic Center businesses

Civic Center sits inside one of San Francisco's working commercial districts. The municipal, state and federal government district around City Hall, where agency vendors, security firms and janitorial contractors perform under public contracts that pay only after documented invoice approval. We fund companies there with purchase order financing, typically 5–10 business days for first deal.

California's wider economy runs on the nation's largest economy, from LA ports and apparel to Silicon Valley tech and Central Valley agriculture, and Civic Center feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies in San Francisco qualify alongside established ones.

Everything is handled online and by phone — there's no branch to visit in Civic Center, and no requirement to pledge real estate. Facilities run from $25,000 to $25 million and grow as your invoicing grows.

How it works in Civic Center

  1. 1.Win the order. You receive a purchase order from a creditworthy commercial or government customer.
  2. 2.We pay your supplier. We issue payment or a letter of credit directly to your supplier for up to 100% of the cost.
  3. 3.Goods are delivered. Your supplier ships to your customer, and you invoice upon delivery.
  4. 4.Settle and keep the margin. Your customer pays, we deduct our fees, and you keep the profit.
