Yes: automotive & transportation manufacturing is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Panama City market. We already know how Eastern Shipbuilding, Naval Support Activity contractors, and WestRock Panama City pay, what documentation underwriters ask for, and which US funding partners underwrite automotive & transportation manufacturing without pushing back on Southeast concentration.
For automotive & transportation manufacturing in Panama City, 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-90 on the receivables side and marine plate, code welding, and progress-billing gaps 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 Panama City 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.

Either way, you pay us nothing.
