PO Financing for The Gulch businesses

If your business runs out of The Gulch, purchase order financing turns the invoices you've already issued into working capital. A former railroad yard southwest of downtown Nashville redeveloped into offices, hotels and retail, where construction subcontractors and service vendors bill developers and corporate tenants on progress-billing schedules.

Tennessee's wider economy runs on Memphis freight, Nashville healthcare and automotive manufacturing, and The Gulch feeds into that supply chain. Approval here rests on your customers' credit rather than your own balance sheet, so younger companies in Nashville qualify alongside established ones.

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

  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.
