PO Financing for Central businesses

If your business is based in Central, purchase order financing turns invoices you've already issued into working capital. An incorporated community on the northeast edge of East Baton Rouge Parish where residential builders, site-work contractors and equipment haulers bill developers and parish agencies weeks after the work is finished.

Louisiana's wider economy runs on petrochemicals, Gulf ports and industrial construction, and Central feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies across the Baton Rouge metro qualify alongside established ones.

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

  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.
