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 Whittier businesses do you fund?

We fund Whittier 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 Whittier?

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 Whittier industries use PO financing most?

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

Will my Whittier 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 Whittier 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 Whittier 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.

Apparel scenario

Apparel brand funds a department-store program

Challenge: An overseas mill required a deposit before cutting, months before the retailer's net-90 invoice would pay.
Solution: PO financing issued a letter of credit to the mill, then converted to factoring on shipment.
Outcome: The season shipped complete and the brand kept its retail slot.

Illustrative example based on a typical client situation, not a specific named client.
