Oil & Gas Services invoice financing

Oil & Gas Services

Paid in 60–120 days from operators

Operators routinely pay field service companies in 60 to 120 days while crews, fuel and equipment are paid now.

Oilfield factoring converts approved field tickets and invoices into same-week cash.

  • Crew payroll
  • Equipment rental
  • Fuel & sand
Oil & Gas financing
Import & Export invoice financing

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.

Trade-focused PO financing issues LCs or wires to foreign suppliers, then converts to AR financing on delivery.

  • Letters of credit
  • Supplier wires
  • Freight & duties
Import/Export financing
Construction & Contractors invoice financing

Construction & Contractors

Paid in 45–90 days, often with retainage

Progress billing, retainage and pay-when-paid clauses leave subcontractors carrying labor and materials for months.

Construction factoring advances against approved progress billings so you can staff and supply the next phase.

  • Materials
  • Crew payroll
  • Bonding capacity

Solution
Oilfield factoring advanced against approved field tickets as soon as they were signed.
Outcome
