cGMP Contract Manufacturing (CMO) Financing

cGMP contract manufacturers front every cost on someone else's brand — actives, excipients, capsules, and packaging — then invoice a brand owner who pays 45–90 days after the lot ships. Factoring and PO financing keep the lines running through the gap.

You're running a cGMP facility producing for brand owners. You buy the actives, excipients, capsules, and bottles, validate the process, run the batch, and ship — then wait on the brand owner's AP while you're already scheduling the next run.

One brand owner can be 30–50% of your volume, and stability and validation workstreams are paid upfront with no revenue until the lot ships and invoices.

We match cGMP CMOs to factoring against brand-owner receivables, PO financing on raw material and component buys, and equipment loans for the next tablet press, encapsulator, or blister line.

What underwriters will actually ask for

cGMP Contract Manufacturing (CMO) files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

  • FDA registration and cGMP / certification status

    Current facility registration and cGMP status. Regulatory standing alone doesn't disqualify — underwriting focuses on customer credit and billing quality.

  • Aged accounts receivable and top-10 brand-owner list

    Brand-owner concentration above ~40% may shape the reserve. Export receivables need country and Incoterms detail.

  • Trailing 12 months of financials and product mix

    Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of OTC, Rx, and nutraceutical revenue.

  • Raw material and component supplier list (for PO financing)

    PO financing pays your actives, excipients, capsules, bottles, and packaging suppliers directly. PO copies and supplier bank details are needed up front.

  • Equipment invoice or quote (for equipment financing)

    Tablet presses, encapsulators, blister lines, mixers, and inspection equipment finance cleanly — new and used.
