PO Financing for Atherton businesses

Atherton sits in the San Jose metro, and we fund companies there on the same terms as the city itself. A residential town between Menlo Park and Redwood City, where custom builders, landscape contractors and professional advisory firms serve owners and corporate clients that pay after work is completed.

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 Atherton feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies across the San Jose metro qualify alongside established ones.

Everything is handled online and by phone — there's no branch to visit in Atherton, 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 Atherton

  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.

Atherton sectors

Industries we fund in Atherton

These are the sectors most active in this suburb, and the ones whose customers pay on the longest terms.

Construction & Contractors invoice financing

Construction & Contractors
