PO Financing for Lockbourne businesses

Lockbourne sits in the Columbus metro, and we fund companies there on the same terms as the city itself. A village south of the air-cargo airport surrounded by distribution campuses, where trucking companies, yard services, equipment suppliers and industrial contractors serve freight and fulfillment operators that settle their invoices on net terms.

Ohio's wider economy runs on steel, polymers, automotive suppliers and distribution, and Lockbourne feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies across the Columbus metro qualify alongside established ones.

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

  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.
