PO Financing for Seaport District businesses

If your business runs out of Seaport District, purchase order financing turns the invoices you've already issued into working capital. A redeveloped waterfront office and laboratory district in South Boston where technology tenants, construction crews and service contractors work against enterprise and institutional payment cycles running sixty days or longer.

B2B Technology & Services is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for PO financing: customers pay in 30–60 days from enterprise clients, while wages and suppliers do not wait. AR financing advances on enterprise invoices so growth isn't capped by client payment cycles.
