PO Financing for Center City businesses

Center City sits inside one of Philadelphia's working commercial districts. Philadelphia's central office district of law, finance and professional service firms, where staffing agencies, security providers and cleaning contractors meet payroll weekly while corporate tenants settle invoices on monthly cycles. We fund companies there with purchase order financing, typically 5–10 business days for first deal.

Staffing Agencies is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for PO financing: customers pay in 30–60 days from clients, while wages and suppliers do not wait. Payroll funding advances against your weekly timesheets so placements never stall for lack of cash.

We work across Philadelphia and the rest of Pennsylvania, so a facility set up for your Center City operation covers additional locations 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.
