Invoice Factoring in Memphis, TN
Most Memphis medical device manufacturing shops we refer into factoring are waiting 30–90 days on Southeast distributors, big-box buyers, or government contracts. Factoring turns those invoices into cash within days so payroll and material buys don't stall between deposits.
Who typically qualifies
Equipment Financing in Memphis, TN

Who typically qualifies
Purchase Order Financing in Memphis, TN
When a Memphis manufacturer lands a purchase order that's bigger than current cash on hand — a new Southeast retailer, a defense sub-tier award, an export contract — PO financing pays your suppliers so you can actually deliver, then unwinds when your customer pays.
Who typically qualifies
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) in Memphis, TN
Established Memphis manufacturers with steady A/R, inventory, and equipment on the books use ABL as a revolving line of credit that scales with the business. Lower cost of capital than factoring, with monthly reporting instead of invoice-by-invoice.
Who typically qualifies

The core qualification check is the same one we run nationwide, and most Memphis-area medical device manufacturing and metal fabrication shops already match the profile funders want: commercial or government buyers paying on terms. Here is the 10-second version:
Usually, yes. For the industry mix we see in Memphis, the first look is typically invoice factoring against your commercial AR, and programs like these weigh your customers' payment history and your equipment far more than your personal credit score. Banks in Tennessee decline files for concentration, collateral, and seasoning reasons that non-bank funders price differently, so a decline is a data point, not a verdict.
One. We do not refer funding for plant-touching cannabis or hemp processing operations in Tennessee, and we do not capture or route those inquiries from this page. Every other manufacturing vertical in the Memphis area, including medical device manufacturing and metal fabrication, is eligible for the same programs and the same process.
Memphis' med-device concentration and logistics-driven packaging base produce long-cycle receivables against strong-credit hospital and CPG buyers. That's why the funding conversation for a Memphis-area shop rarely starts with "do I qualify" — it usually starts with matching the right structure to how your specific buyers pay and how your production cycle burns cash.
Given the mix of medical device manufacturing and metal fabrication we see in the Memphis area, the first look for most shops is invoice factoring against your commercial AR, with an equipment or working-capital line as the shop grows layered in as the shop grows. We'll tell you honestly which one fits before you fill out anything long. Compare all 6 side by side on the Memphis programs page.
Most Memphis-area shops we refer are selling into Medtronic, Smith+Nephew, hospital systems, national CPG brands. Those receivables are typically on net-45 to net-90, and the working-capital pinch usually comes from implant-grade titanium and PEEK, cleanroom validation, sterile packaging. Every one of those pieces is something factoring, PO financing, and equipment lines are built to solve.
For your program mix, factoring is typically 7–14 business days to first funding, then 24–48 hours per invoice; equipment financing adds 5–15 business days when it makes sense. 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.
Tennessee has no state income tax, an aggressive automotive and med-device base, and FastTrack state incentives that occasionally pair with SBA 504 expansions.
Locally, the growth story is orthopedic implant reshoring, logistics-adjacent light manufacturing, medical device 3D printing. That matters for funding because underwriters read your file against the local narrative — a Memphis shop tied into that growth is a lender-friendly story, and it usually helps us get to a better program fit faster.
