PO Financing for Columbia businesses

Columbia sits in the Nashville metro, and we fund companies there on the same terms as the city itself. The Maury County seat south of the metro where phosphate and chemical processing, metal fabrication and agricultural handling operate near Interstate 65, with contractors, carriers and suppliers billing plant operators on long net terms.

Manufacturing is among the sectors most active here, and it is a textbook case for PO financing: customers pay in 45–90 days from OEMs and distributors, while wages and suppliers do not wait. AR financing unlocks cash tied up in shipped orders, while PO financing can fund materials for large new contracts.

We work across Columbia, Nashville and the rest of Tennessee, so one facility covers every site you operate without a new application.

How it works in Columbia

  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.
