Upholstered Furniture Financing
Upholstered furniture makers front frame lumber, foam, fabric, and leather, build to seasonal market and retail cycles, then wait on big-box and hospitality customers. Factoring and PO financing bridge the gap between the build and the check.
You're building upholstered furniture and motion pieces ahead of the High Point and Las Vegas markets. Fabric, foam, leather, and frame stock are bought months before the retailer sells through and pays.
Hospitality and senior-living contracts front huge material buys with milestone payments strung out over months, and one dealer or hotel group can be 30–40% of your volume.
We match upholstery manufacturers to factoring against dealer and hospitality receivables, PO financing on fabric and foam buys, and equipment loans for the next sewing line or CNC frame cutter.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Upholstered Furniture files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Active business and resale license
Standard business registration and any state contractor or resale license for the customers in your AR aging.
Aged accounts receivable and top-10 customer list
Retailer, dealer, or hospitality concentration above ~40% may shape the reserve. Seasonal DSO spikes are expected and noted.
Trailing 12 months of financials
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of retail vs hospitality vs contract revenue.
Fabric, foam, and component supplier list (for PO financing)
PO financing pays your fabric, foam, leather, frame, and hardware suppliers directly. PO copies and supplier bank details are needed up front.
Equipment invoice or quote (for equipment financing)
Sewing lines, CNC frame cutters, foam dispensers, and upholstery machinery finance cleanly — new and used.

Program
Invoice Factoring
Why it fits here: Retail, dealer, and hospitality invoices factor on the buyer's credit. Net-30 to net-60 dealer terms convert to cash within days of the truck leaving the dock.

Program
Purchase Order Financing
Why it fits here: Covers fabric, foam, frame lumber, and hardware on a confirmed program or container order. A larger retail commitment no longer means fronting materials from cash flow.

Program
Equipment Financing
Why it fits here: CNC fabric cutters, sewing lines, foam cutters, and frame machinery finance new or used. Capacity for a new collection rides on the equipment.
