Contract Filling & Private Label Financing
Cosmetic contract fillers front components, ingredients, and labor and wait 45–90 days for brand and retail buyers. Factoring against brand receivables and PO financing on components and ingredients keep the filling line running.
You're filling someone else's brand — buying bottles, pumps, jars, labels, and bulk ingredients, paying operators, and shipping to brand owners and retailers who pay 45–90 days later. You front every cost on someone else's product.
Underwriters get the contract-manufacturing model. Your invoices are to brand owners, and when those buyers are legitimate, the receivables factor cleanly. PO financing handles the component and ingredient spend so you're not funding growth out of operating cash.
We work with lenders who understand cosmetic contract filling, MOQ economics, and the reality that one brand can be a big share of your volume for a while.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Contract Filling & Private Label files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Executed filling / MSA agreements with each brand
Underwriters confirm you're an independent contractor and the brand owner is the obligated payor — not a passthrough.
Aged AR by brand and top-customer list
Brand concentration above ~50% may cap advance rate rather than kill the deal.
Component and ingredient supplier list (for PO financing)
PO financing pays your bottle, pump, jar, label, and bulk-ingredient suppliers directly. We need PO copies and supplier bank details up front.
Trailing 12 months of financials and production mix
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a brand-vs-private-label revenue split. SKU count and MOQ economics are reviewed.
Regulatory status (FDA / MoCRA registration)
FDA facility registration and MoCRA compliance status are confirmed but don't disqualify — buyer credit and clean invoicing matter more.
Equipment quote or invoice (for equipment financing)
Filling lines, cappers, labelers, mixers, and packaging equipment finance cleanly — new and used — with 24–72 month terms.
