Yes — aerospace & defense manufacturing is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Norfolk market. We already know how Newport News Shipbuilding, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, BAE, Navy MRO primes, Port of Virginia pay, what documentation underwriters ask for, and which US funding partners underwrite aerospace & defense manufacturing without pushing back on Mid-Atlantic concentration.
For aerospace & defense manufacturing in Norfolk, the first look is usually purchase order financing paired with invoice factoring — that's what most directly closes the gap between net-60 to net-120 on the receivables side and HY-80/HY-100 steel, exotic alloy, and precision tooling spot buys 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 Norfolk 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.
