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. We refer your inquiry to funding partners whose programs are built so that gap doesn't stop you from taking the next order.
Invoice Factoring is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Explore turning unpaid invoices into working capital instead of waiting on net-60 or net-90.

Yes — invoice factoring is one of the programs we most commonly place for food & beverage manufacturing shops.

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. In most states, funding partners pay us when an account funds or activates; in California and Missouri they instead pay a fixed fee per inquiry, whether or not you are funded. Either way, you pay us nothing.
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.
