Invoice Factoring For Cyber Security Company

Provided by 1st Commercial Credit, LLC

1. What is invoice factoring and what is PO funding?

Invoice factoring allows your business to convert unpaid invoices into immediate working capital—typically advancing 85–90% of the invoice amount. Recurring Fulfillment PO Funding provides upfront capital to pay suppliers or service providers before invoicing, specifically for long-term, repeatable government or B2B purchase orders.

2. Why do I need to qualify for invoice factoring before receiving PO funding?

Factoring is the repayment mechanism for PO funding. Without an approved factoring line, we cannot offer PO advances, as there’s no structured way to recover the funding extended to suppliers.

3. What types of contracts qualify for funding?

We finance recurring supply or service contracts with both government agencies (federal, state, municipal) and commercial B2B clients. Contracts must involve scheduled, ongoing deliveries—not one-time, speculative, or project-based transactions. We do not fund consumer sales or construction projects.

4. Do you fund one-time purchase orders?

No. We do not fund one-time or non-recurring purchase orders. We specialize in financing long-term, recurring contracts that demonstrate consistent transaction volume.

5. What’s the minimum monthly volume to qualify?

Your business must require at least $20,000 per month in total funding between PO advances and invoice factoring.

6. What is the required profit margin?

You must operate with a minimum 20% gross profit margin to ensure the funding structure remains viable and sustainable for your business.

7. Do you fund construction-related contracts or public works projects?

No. We do not fund construction, public works, infrastructure, HVAC, electrical, or bonded government contracts. These types of projects fall outside our eligibility scope.

8. What industries are eligible for this program?

We work with vendors and suppliers in:

  • Janitorial and facility supply
  • Office and IT consumables
  • PPE and medical equipment
  • Lab supplies and testing products
  • Government-approved recurring services (non-construction)
  • Commercial product distributors with recurring B2B contracts
  • Manufacturers including Gun Manufacturing and Armor

9. Can I apply if I’ve never worked with the government before?

Yes, provided your business has at least 12 months of operational history, experience delivering the type of product or service under contract, and a valid recurring PO from a qualified customer.

10. Who receives the initial PO funds—you or the supplier?

PO funding is issued directly to your supplier to ensure that production or delivery can begin. You receive the balance of the funds once the invoice is paid and reconciled.

11. How do invoice payments work with this program?

Invoices are factored and used to pay down the PO funding. Once your customer (government agency or B2B buyer) pays the invoice, we deduct our fees and return the remaining balance to you.

12. What if the government or B2B buyer pays late?

We anticipate delays common in government and commercial payment cycles. Our collections team communicates professionally with your customer, while protecting your relationship and minimizing disruption.

13. How long does the approval process take?

Factoring approvals are typically completed within 24–48 hours. PO funding is reviewed and activated once your factoring facility is in place.

14. What documentation do I need to apply?

We typically request:

  • The government-issued PO or commercial contract
  • Supplier invoices or quotes
  • Articles of incorporation and EIN
  • Proof of delivery capacity
  • Subcontractor declarations (if applicable)

15. Can you fund subcontracts under a prime contractor?

Yes, as long as the prime contractor is financially stable and your subcontract agreement is valid. We will verify the flow-down terms and credit of the prime.

16. Can I use subcontractors to fulfill the contract?

No. We do not fund transactions where subcontractors are used to perform core work. Government contracts often prohibit this, and subcontracted labor is typically not covered under general liability or workers’ comp policies. All work must be performed by W-2 employees covered under your company’s insurance policies.

17. Is a personal guarantee required?

Yes. A personal guarantee from the business owner is required. This ensures full accountability for both contract performance and repayment of advanced funds.

18. Do you check my personal or business credit?

We may review credit history, but the primary factors are your customer's payment reliability, your margins, and your operational ability to fulfill the contract.

19. Will you contact my customer?

Yes. We will contact your government contracting officer or commercial buyer to confirm PO assignment, contract terms, invoice acknowledgment, and to ensure that remittance payment information is updated to our lockbox. All communication is handled professionally and keeps every party aligned on the transaction flow.

20. How frequently can I draw funds?

You can draw as often as you deliver, invoice, and have cash reserves remaining from a completed transaction. Frequency depends on your fulfillment schedule and reserve availability.

Financing Government Receivables

Since government contracts often have long payment terms, our solution helps contractors maintain cash flow to cover operating costs, payroll, and other expenses while waiting for government payments.
