Is asset-based lending (abl) a good fit for pharmaceutical & nutraceutical manufacturing?

Yes — asset-based lending (abl) is one of the programs we most commonly place for pharmaceutical & nutraceutical manufacturing shops. Established manufacturers with meaningful receivables, inventory, and/or equipment who want a flexible revolving line.

Do I have to give up equity?

No. Every program we place is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.

Do you fund cGMP and FDA-registered contract manufacturers?

Yes. Regulatory status doesn't disqualify anyone. Underwriting focuses on your customer's credit and the cleanliness of your billing, not your registration.

Can PO financing cover API and excipient buys?

Yes, in most cases. Established suppliers of actives, excipients, capsules, and packaging can be paid through PO financing once the downstream sale is confirmed.

How is ABL different from factoring?

ABL is a revolving line you draw against; factoring is the outright sale of specific invoices. ABL usually has lower cost of capital but stricter eligibility and monthly reporting requirements.

Why pharmaceutical & nutraceutical manufacturing shops choose asset-based lending (abl)

You're running a cGMP facility, buying actives, excipients, capsules, and bottles, validating a process for months, then invoicing a brand owner or distributor who pays 45, 60, sometimes 90 days after the lot ships. The whole cycle is capital-intensive before the first invoice lands.

Contract manufacturers feel it most — you front every cost on someone else's brand, and one brand owner can be 30–50% of your volume while you wait on their AP. Stability data doesn't pay for the next batch.

Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Revolving lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.
