How much does purchase order financing cost in California?

Pricing in California is the same as everywhere we lend: typically 1.5%–6% per 30 days. Your exact rate depends on monthly volume, your customers' credit and average days-to-pay.

What size South San Francisco businesses do you fund?

We fund South San Francisco companies with facilities from $25,000 to $25 million, from owner-operators and startups to mid-market firms with eight-figure revenue.

Do I need good credit to qualify in South San Francisco?

Not necessarily. Approval is based mostly on the creditworthiness of your customers and the quality of your invoices or purchase orders, not your personal credit score.

Which South San Francisco industries use PO financing most?

In the South San Francisco area we see strong demand from import/export, apparel, tech & services, food & bev companies, along with professional services and B2B suppliers.

Will my South San Francisco customers know I'm using purchase order financing?

It depends on the structure. Traditional factoring sends your customers a notice of assignment directing payment to a lockbox. Confidential, non-notification facilities are available to qualifying South San Francisco businesses — ask your advisor which your file supports.

Is there a long-term contract or minimum volume?

Not on our spot programs — you can finance a single invoice. Full-ledger facilities carry a term and a monthly minimum in exchange for a lower rate. Both options are quoted side by side so you can compare them before signing.

What happens if a South San Francisco customer pays late or not at all?

Under a recourse facility you repurchase the invoice or swap it for another after an agreed number of days. Under non-recourse, we absorb the loss if an approved customer becomes insolvent — though commercial disputes over quality or delivery are excluded from both.

PO Financing for South San Francisco's busiest sectors

California's economy is built on the nation's largest economy, from LA ports and apparel to Silicon Valley tech and Central Valley agriculture. These are the South San Francisco-area sectors that most often finance their receivables.

Import & Export

Paid in 60–120 days including transit

Overseas suppliers want payment or letters of credit before goods ship, and transit adds weeks before you can invoice.

Supplier wires
Freight & duties

Import/Export financing

Apparel & Textiles

Paid in 60–90 days from retailers
