PO Financing for Lemont businesses

Lemont sits in the Chicago metro, and we fund companies there on the same terms as the city itself. A southwest canal town with refining and research facilities nearby, where industrial contractors, turnaround crews and specialty services invoice plant operators and institutions on long payment schedules.

Oil & Gas Services is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for PO financing: customers pay in 60–120 days from operators, while wages and suppliers do not wait. Oilfield factoring converts approved field tickets and invoices into same-week cash.

We work across Lemont, Chicago and the rest of Illinois, so one facility covers every site you operate without a new application.

Field service company covers crews on 90-day operator terms

Oil & Gas scenario

Field service company covers crews on 90-day operator terms

Challenge
An operator stretched payment on approved field tickets to nearly 90 days while crews and equipment rentals were due weekly.
Solution
Oilfield factoring advanced against approved field tickets as soon as they were signed.
Outcome
Crews stayed deployed through the stretch and the company took on a second pad.
