PO Financing for Downtown Durham businesses

If your business runs out of Downtown Durham, purchase order financing turns the invoices you've already issued into working capital. Durham's central business district, where law firms, banks, government offices and software companies occupy converted tobacco warehouses and office towers, and the service vendors supporting them wait on corporate accounts-payable cycles.

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.

We work across Durham and the rest of North Carolina, so a facility set up for your Downtown Durham operation covers additional locations without a new application.

How it works in Downtown Durham

  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.
