PO Financing for Honolulu Harbor businesses

The state's main commercial port, where terminal operators, drayage carriers, customs brokers and forwarders handle inbound goods for Oahu and routinely wait on shippers and importers to pay. National Invoice Factoring provides purchase order financing to companies operating in Honolulu Harbor, advancing up to 100% of supplier costs so payroll, materials and growth aren't gated by your customers' payment terms.

Import & Export is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for PO financing: customers pay in 60–120 days including transit, while wages and suppliers do not wait. Trade-focused PO financing issues LCs or wires to foreign suppliers, then converts to AR financing on delivery.

We work across Honolulu and the rest of Hawaii, so a facility set up for your Honolulu Harbor operation covers additional locations without a new application.
