The Challenge: High Overhead vs. 60-Day Pay Terms
In today’s fast-moving supply chain landscape, warehousing and logistics companies manage the complex movement of goods for the world’s largest retail brands. However, even the most established firms face a critical bottleneck: The Retail Lag.
Our client, operating across major North American ports, faced a cash flow gap caused by servicing high-volume contracts while waiting 45 to 60 days for invoice settlements. To maintain Best-in-Class service and meet weekly payroll for seasonal labor surges, they needed a liquidity partner who understood the nuances of 3PL (Third Party Logistics).
The Star Funding Solution: Structured for Growth
Star Funding deployed a customized factoring facility designed to convert outstanding logistics invoices into immediate working capital. Unlike generic lenders, our underwriting team focused on the creditworthiness of the retail debtors, allowing for a higher funding cap than a traditional bank line.
Verifiable Operational Impact:
- 🚀 Liquidity Boost: Working capital increased by 50% within the first 30 days.
- 💼 Contract Readiness: The client is now able to successfully bid on and win multiple additional port-side contracts throughout 2026.
- 🛡️ Payroll Security: 100% on-time fulfillment for labor-intensive peak seasons.
