Purchase Order Financing for Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Manufacturing shops
Say yes to the big PO. Our team looks for a funding partner with a purchase order financing structure that fits how you actually run. No equity given up, and no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why pharmaceutical & nutraceutical manufacturing shops choose purchase order financing
You're running a cGMP facility, buying actives, excipients, capsules, and bottles, validating a process for months, then invoicing a brand owner or distributor who pays 45, 60, sometimes 90 days after the lot ships. The whole cycle is capital-intensive before the first invoice lands.
Contract manufacturers feel it most — you front every cost on someone else's brand, and one brand owner can be 30–50% of your volume while you wait on their AP. Stability data doesn't pay for the next batch.
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.
