Invoice Factoring for Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing shops
Get paid now for work you've already delivered. We match aerospace & defense manufacturing manufacturers with the invoice factoring structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why aerospace & defense manufacturing shops choose invoice factoring
You're on a Boeing, Lockheed, RTX, or Northrop program. Or maybe you're a Tier-3 machine shop feeding a Tier-1 you can barely pronounce. Either way, the money is real, the paperwork is thick, and the cash cycle is brutal.
AS9100 audits, ITAR handling, DFARS, source substantiation, first-article inspection — you carry all of that plus long lead-time titanium, Inconel, or aluminum, and then wait on prime-contractor payment cycles that don't care about your payroll date.
Invoice Factoring is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Turn unpaid invoices into cash today—stop waiting on net-60 or net-90.

It depends on the program. Factoring often funds within days of account setup; equipment and working capital usually run days to a couple of weeks; SBA and larger term loans take longer. We tell you the real timeline up front.
No. We are an independent business financing referral service and are not paid by you. Our funding partners compensate us only after a referred manufacturer actually receives their funds.
No. Every program we refer is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.
Yes. Government contract factoring requires partners familiar with the Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §3727 and FAR 32.8). We match you with lenders that regularly handle prime and sub-prime defense receivables so the paperwork is routine.
Yes. AS9100 registration and ITAR handling are standard for aerospace and defense suppliers we work with. Lenders understand controlled tech data, US-person requirements, and export-controlled inventory.
Not usually. Factoring underwriting weighs the credit of the customers who owe you money much more heavily than your personal credit. Manufacturers with challenged credit are often still approved.
- Underwriting focuses on your customers' credit and payment history, not yours.
