TradeCap Partners Funds $4.5MM PO Facility for Importer of Heavy Equipment Parts and Filtration Products

TradeCap Partners has closed a $4.5 million purchase order funding facility for an importer of heavy equipment parts and filtration products supplying national retail chains. The transaction was sourced through a trusted referral partner with a nationwide footprint and structured to support the client’s rapidly expanding sales pipeline.

The customized facility combines documentary letters of credit issued in favor of overseas manufacturers with cash advances to cover freight, customs duties, and other logistics-related expenses. This structure enables the company to fund production and delivery timelines tied to large retailer purchase orders, particularly as demand accelerates ahead of a peak selling season.

The importer had historically relied on a modest regional bank line of credit to finance operations. However, recent wins with big-box retailers significantly increased order volumes, quickly exceeding the capacity of traditional bank financing. While the company maintained long-standing supplier relationships abroad, the scale of new orders required substantial upfront capital, as suppliers required secure payment instruments before commencing production.

TradeCap’s facility provided the speed, flexibility, and balance sheet strength needed to bridge this gap, allowing the company to execute on sizable retailer commitments without disrupting supplier relationships or delivery schedules.
