PO Financing for Northern Liberties businesses

Northern Liberties sits inside one of Philadelphia's working commercial districts. A converted industrial neighborhood north of center city with design studios, small producers and technology offices, where project-based firms deliver work before corporate clients clear invoices on standard commercial terms. We fund companies there with purchase order financing, typically 5–10 business days for first deal.

Pennsylvania's wider economy runs on industrial manufacturing, healthcare systems and I-81/I-78 logistics, and Northern Liberties feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies in Philadelphia qualify alongside established ones.

Everything is handled online and by phone — there's no branch to visit in Northern Liberties, and no requirement to pledge real estate. Facilities run from $25,000 to $25 million and grow as your invoicing grows.
