Battery & Energy Storage Financing

Battery and energy storage manufacturers buy lithium, cathode, anode, and separator materials in volume, build to utility and EPC timelines, and invoice on milestone or extended terms. Factoring and PO financing keep the gigafactory line running through the gap.

You're making battery cells, packs, or systems for utility, EPC, and EV customers. Lithium, cathode, anode, and separator materials are bought in volume, and the customer pays on milestone or net-60+ terms while the supply chain wants cash now.

Long-lead material buys and validation cycles front huge capital cost, and project finance closes on its own timeline — sometimes months after you've already bought the lithium.

We match battery manufacturers to factoring against utility and OEM receivables, PO financing on material and component buys, and equipment loans for the next coating line, cell line, or tester.

What underwriters will actually ask for

Battery & Energy Storage files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

  • Signed supply agreement or OEM PO

    Underwriters want the OEM, utility, or EPC PO and any milestone billing schedule documented for the volume being funded.

  • Aged accounts receivable and top-10 customer list

    OEM and utility concentration is common and noted. Milestone lines are separated from the advanceable balance.

  • Trailing 12 months of financials and capacity detail

    Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of cell, pack, and system revenue and capacity.

  • Lithium, cathode, and component supplier list (for PO financing)

    PO financing pays your lithium, cathode, anode, separator, and component suppliers directly against confirmed orders.

  • Equipment invoice or quote (for equipment financing)

    Coating lines, cell lines, testers, and automation finance cleanly — new and used.
