Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing in Columbus — FAQs
Yes — aerospace & defense manufacturing is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Columbus market. We already know how Fort Moore defense primes, Aflac supply chain, and Kia Tier-2s pay, what documentation underwriters ask for, and which US funding partners underwrite aerospace & defense manufacturing without pushing back on Southeast concentration.
For aerospace & defense manufacturing in Columbus, the first look is usually purchase order financing paired with invoice factoring — that's what most directly closes the gap between net-45 to net-90 on the receivables side and spec-material and stamping WIP on the production side. From there, an equipment line as the shop scales into the next contract is a common second step as the shop scales. Compare the full stack on the Columbus programs page.
Realistically, PO financing typically funds in 2–4 weeks once supplier terms are confirmed; factoring on the resulting invoices sets up in 7–14 business days and then funds 24–48 hours per invoice after that. That's the "actually receive money in your operating account" timeline, not the "signed a term sheet" one.
