Our company is new to business, would this be a challenge to get funding?
Years in business is not a factor in our funding decision.
Our customers have been slow in making payments. Could this be considered a valid reason to seek funding from SouthStar?
We can advance up to 90% of the amount of your outstanding invoices, so you can keep your business operating and take on new jobs. We can also finance 100% of your 3rd party purchase orders.
If my company is behind on taxes, would we still be able to get funding from SouthStar?
We will not automatically turn you down because of tax liens. Instead, we have a dedicated team that works with the IRS to negotiate a payment plan for the lien.
Could SouthStar assist with my company's payroll payment issues?
We can advance the money you have tied up in unpaid invoices, so you can make payroll on time instead of waiting to receive payment from your client.
Do I need to give up any equity in my company to receive funding?
We are able to provide working capital without acquiring equity, so you keep 100% ownership of your business.
Do I have to factor all of my invoices?

No, you can pick the customer and invoices you would like to factor.

Where does my customer send payment to?

Your customers will receive a Notice of Assignment (NOA) and will update payment remittance to a SouthStar lockbox.

Does factoring show a sign of weakness to my customers?
Invoice factoring is a well-known tool and puts businesses in a better financial position for their daily operations.
What type of industries do you finance?

SouthStar finances a wide range of industries as long as the business sells a service or a product on terms to another business.

Can you provide financing to my company based on a government purchase order or contract award?
SouthStar Capital provides short-term working capital to companies supplying goods and services to federal, state, and municipal government agencies. We achieve this through asset-based lending products like Accounts Receivable and Purchase Order Financing, as well as Mobilization Funding. While contracts or purchase orders themselves aren’t assets, the products to be resold and completed work receivables are. Additionally, assets such as real estate, vehicles, machinery, and inventory can be utilized for financing.
When will I get the money to pay my vendor?
SouthStar Capital partners with you to manage your supply chain risks. We pay your vendor directly after confirming their capabilities, product specifications, delivery methods, and other factors. This process typically takes a few days, depending on the vendor’s responsiveness.
