Purchase Order Financing for Automotive & Transportation Manufacturing shops
Say yes to the big PO. We match automotive & transportation manufacturing manufacturers with the purchase order financing structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why automotive & transportation manufacturing shops choose purchase order financing
OEM programs don't wait. The launch date is the launch date, PPAP is PPAP, and if you can't fund the tooling, the ramp, or the next stamping cell, the OEM finds someone who can.
That's the pressure. Meanwhile, terms have quietly slid from net-45 to net-60 to net-75, EV programs are asking for capacity you don't yet have, and every launch eats cash months before the first serial production invoice.
Purchase Order Financing is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Get the capital to fulfill large customer orders without straining cash flow.
What automotive & transportation manufacturing shops get
- Take on orders that would otherwise be out of reach
- Doesn't require giving up equity
- Often pairs with invoice factoring for continuous cash flow
How it works
- 1You receive a purchase order from a creditworthy customer.
- 2The PO financing partner pays your suppliers (directly or via letter of credit) so you can produce the order.
- 3You produce and deliver the goods.
- 4The customer pays on the invoice; the financing is repaid and you keep the profit.
Cash-flow realities we see in automotive & transportation manufacturing
