PO Financing for Elma businesses

Elma sits in the Buffalo metro, and we fund companies there on the same terms as the city itself. A southeastern Erie County town where precision machine shops, aerospace suppliers and trade contractors along Bowen Road and Transit Road invoice primes, distributors and developers on purchase-order terms that run past payroll.

Aerospace & Defense Suppliers is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for PO financing: customers pay in 60–90 days from primes, while wages and suppliers do not wait. Supplier receivables financing advances on approved invoices to primes and defense contractors.

We work across Elma, Buffalo and the rest of New York, so one facility covers every site you operate without a new application.

  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.
