Usually, yes.

Given the mix of aerospace and defense and electronics and electrical we see in the Colorado Springs area, the first look for most shops is purchase order financing paired with invoice factoring, with an equipment line as the shop scales into the next contract layered in as the shop grows.

Most Colorado Springs-area shops we refer are selling into Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing Defense, L3Harris, Space Force primes. Those receivables are typically on net-45 to net-90, and the working-capital pinch usually comes from super-alloys, radiation-hardened electronics, ITAR compliance overhead. Every one of those pieces is something factoring, PO financing, and equipment lines are built to solve.
For your program mix, PO financing typically funds in 2–4 weeks once supplier terms are confirmed; factoring on the resulting invoices sets up in 7–14 business days and then funds 24–48 hours per invoice after that. The gate is almost always document turnaround on your side, not underwriting. A clean AR aging, three months of business bank statements, and a customer list is usually enough for us to refer your file.
