Purchase Order Financing for Battery & Energy Storage Manufacturing shops
Say yes to the big PO. We match battery & energy storage 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 battery & energy storage manufacturing shops choose purchase order financing
Whether you're building cells, assembling packs, or integrating a battery energy storage system for a utility or commercial site, the pattern is the same: lithium, cathode material, BMS electronics, and enclosures all get paid for up front, often with supplier prepayments, while your customer sits on a milestone-based payment schedule tied to commissioning.
UL 9540A large-scale fire testing, UN38.3 transport certification, and interconnection approvals all add time and cost before you see final payment, and utilities and EPCs are not fast payers even after acceptance. That squeeze between cell prepayment and final commissioning check is where most storage manufacturers get stuck.
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 battery & energy storage manufacturing shops get
- Take on orders that would otherwise be out of reach
- Doesn't require giving up equity

- 3You produce and deliver the goods.
- 4The customer pays on the invoice; the financing is repaid and you keep the profit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — purchase order financing is one of the programs we most commonly place for battery & energy storage manufacturing shops.

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. Purchase order financing can cover supplier prepayments for lithium, cathode material, and cells when tied to a confirmed customer order, so you're not funding raw material buys entirely out of pocket.
Factoring and asset-based lending can advance against milestone invoices as they're issued, rather than waiting for full commissioning and utility or EPC sign-off before any cash comes in.
It typically costs more than a traditional bank line, but it's often the difference between accepting a large order or turning it down. The profit on the order usually more than covers the cost.
