Is invoice factoring a good fit for cannabis & hemp processing?

Yes — invoice factoring is one of the programs we most commonly place for cannabis & hemp processing shops. Manufacturers with creditworthy commercial or government customers that pay on net-30, net-60, or net-90 terms.

How fast can a cannabis & hemp processing shop get funded?

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.

Do you charge cannabis & hemp processing manufacturers any fees?

No. We are a business consulting service and are not paid by you. Our funding partners compensate us only after a referred manufacturer actually receives their funds.

Do I have to give up equity?

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

Can a cannabis or hemp business get an SBA loan?

State-licensed, plant-touching THC businesses cannot get SBA loans because cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance federally and SBA programs require federal legality. Federally legal hemp processors under the 0.3% THC threshold may qualify for SBA and other bank programs on the same basis as any manufacturer.

Can a THC-licensed operator use invoice factoring?

Rarely, and only in limited cases. Most factoring companies decline plant-touching cannabis receivables due to federal illegality and banking restrictions. Some ancillary or hemp-derived revenue tied to the same operator may still be factorable if it's cleanly separated from THC sales.

Do I need great personal credit to factor invoices?

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.

Why cannabis & hemp processing shops choose invoice factoring

If you're processing hemp under the 0.3% THC federal threshold — CBD extraction, fiber, grain, or hemp-derived ingredients — you're operating a legal federal business and a real slice of the financing market is open to you: equipment financing, invoice factoring on non-plant-touching receivables, and working capital lines from lenders who understand the crop.

If you're a state-licensed THC cultivator, processor, or dispensary supplier, the picture is different, and we're not going to sugarcoat it. Because cannabis is still a Schedule I substance federally, SBA loans and most bank credit, and the majority of factoring facilities, are simply off the table for plant-touching activity — that's a federal restriction, not a reflection of your business quality.

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.
