Powering Growth in the Commercial Construction Supply Sector

The Situation:

A Southeast-based importer and wholesaler of specialized concrete construction materials secured a significant purchase order from a major contractor. As the company entered a new phase of growth, it faced substantial upfront costs tied to international manufacturing, shipping, and import expenses. At the same time, extended payment terms created a gap between delivery and cash receipt, limiting the company’s ability to execute and scale efficiently.

The Solution:

SouthStar structured a $1,000,000 combined Purchase Order and Accounts Receivable financing facility designed to support the full transaction cycle. The Purchase Order financing component provided the capital needed to fund manufacturing and logistics costs, while the Accounts Receivable facility enabled the company to convert invoices into immediate working capital upon delivery.

The Result:

With improved access to working capital, the company successfully fulfilled its initial contract and positioned itself to manage multiple incoming shipments. The flexible structure supports ongoing scalability, allowing the business to pursue additional opportunities and continue expanding within the commercial construction materials market.
