Industrial & Specialty Chemicals Financing
Industrial and specialty chemical manufacturers buy raw materials and energy up front, run batch and continuous reactors, and wait 60–90 days for industrial and OEM buyers. Factoring against receivables, PO financing on feedstocks, and equipment loans keep reactors running.
You're buying feedstocks, intermediates, and additives, running batch or continuous reactors, and shipping to industrial, OEM, and distributor buyers who pay 60–90 days later. Energy and raw-material costs are bought now; the cash comes back slowly.
Your industrial and OEM receivables are strong, slow credits. Factoring turns approved invoices into cash so the next feedstock buy and reactor campaign isn't gated by the last invoice outstanding.
We work with lenders who understand chemical throughput, hazmat and EPA context, and batch-vs-continuous economics. We match your customer mix to factoring, PO financing on feedstocks, and equipment financing for reactors and storage.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Industrial & Specialty Chemicals files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Top-customer / OEM list and aged AR
Industrial, OEM, and distributor concentration above ~40% may cap advance rate. Chemical-buyer credit is underwritten on the buyer, not your reactor count.
Feedstock and energy supplier detail (for PO financing)
PO financing pays your feedstock, intermediate, and additive suppliers directly against a confirmed order. Energy and freight detail are disclosed.
Trailing 12 months of financials and feedstock-cost exposure
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and raw-material as % of COGS. Long-term feedstock contracts and hedging disclosure matter.
Equipment quote or invoice (for equipment financing)
Reactors, storage, blending, filling, and packaging equipment finance cleanly — new and used — with 24–72 month terms.
Regulatory status (EPA / TSCA / OSHA / ISO 14001)
EPA, TSCA, and OSHA compliance status is confirmed but doesn't disqualify — buyer credit and clean invoicing matter more. Open violations require a written response.
Inventory and finished-goods detail
Lenders check finished-goods and hazardous inventory turnover. Slow-moving or hazardous inventory may be excluded from an ABL borrowing base.
