Invoice Factoring for Food & Beverage Manufacturing shops

Get paid now for work you've already delivered. We match food & beverage 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 food & beverage manufacturing shops choose invoice factoring

You're already juggling ingredient buys, cold storage, co-man commitments, and a retailer who thinks net-60 is generous. The money is real — it's just sitting in someone else's AP queue.

That gap between when you pay for sugar, flour, resin, or a run of glass, and when Kroger, Sysco, US Foods, Whole Foods, or your distributor cuts the check, is the entire game. Our job is to make sure that gap never stops you from taking the next order.

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.

What food & beverage manufacturing shops get

  • Cash within days instead of 30–90 days
  • Line grows with your sales—no fixed cap
  • Underwriting focuses on your customers' credit, not just yours
  • Frees up working capital for materials, payroll, and new orders

How it works

  1. 1You invoice your customer as usual after delivery.
  2. 2The factoring partner advances a large percentage of that invoice (often 80–95%) within days.
  3. 3Your customer pays the factor directly on their normal terms.
  4. 4You receive the remaining balance, less a small factoring fee.

Cash-flow realities we see in food & beverage manufacturing

  • Grocery, distributor, and foodservice customers stretching to net-30, net-60, or net-90
  • Seasonal ingredient buys, cold storage costs, and packaging pre-buys
  • First-time POs from national grocers that dwarf your current cash position
  • FSMA, SQF, and audit-driven equipment and facility upgrades
  • Payroll and utility spikes during peak production windows

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — invoice factoring is one of the programs we most commonly place for food & beverage manufacturing shops. Manufacturers with creditworthy commercial or government customers that pay on net-30, net-60, or net-90 terms. Full mechanics: the Invoice Factoring program page. Sector overview: Food & Beverage Manufacturing.

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. Co-packers factor invoices to brand-owner customers all the time so they can fund the next production run without waiting on net-45 or net-60 payments. Underwriting focuses on the brand owner's credit, not just yours.

Purchase order financing is built for this. It pays your ingredient and packaging suppliers so you can produce and ship, then factoring bridges the invoice until the retailer pays. Most operators pair the two on a first big-box PO.

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.
  • Challenged personal credit, thin files, and past bankruptcies can still qualify.
  • You need B2B or B2G invoices on net-15 to net-90 terms.
  • Baseline volume is about $25K or more in monthly revenue.
  • Not sure your file clears it? Score your readiness first.
