OTC & Private Label Financing
OTC and private-label manufacturers front actives, packaging, and testing, then ship to retailers, distributors, and marketplaces on extended terms. Factoring and PO financing keep launches on schedule through payment gaps.
You're producing OTC remedies, private-label pharma, or white-label products for retailers and distributors. Actives, packaging, and stability testing are paid upfront, and the retailer pays 30–90 days after shipment.
Retailer chargebacks and compliance deductions quietly nibble the advance, and one big-box or distributor account can dominate your book for a quarter.
Our team looks for a funding partner that fits OTC and private-label manufacturers. General information on common options includes factoring against retailer and distributor receivables, PO financing on large launches, and equipment loans for the next filler, capper, or labeler.

What underwriters will actually ask for
OTC & Private Label files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

Facility registration and OTC monograph or NDA status. Regulatory standing alone doesn't disqualify — underwriting focuses on customer credit and billing quality.
Aged accounts receivable and top-10 customer list
Retailer and distributor concentration above ~40% may shape the reserve. Chargeback history is reviewed and reserved for at setup.
