Invoice factoring for Seattle, King County, and Puget Sound businesses that bill B2B customers on terms.
Also called accounts receivable or A/R financing.
Orange Commercial Credit has a Washington office and works with Seattle businesses that invoice B2B customers on terms.
We buy approved unpaid invoices so you can get paid before your customer’s 30, 60, or 75-day terms end.
We work with trucking, freight, staffing, manufacturing, logistics, warehouse, maritime support, industrial service, and other B2B companies in Seattle and across Washington.
Once your customer is approved, your invoice is verified, your account is set up,
we usually send most of the money within
24 hours.
Before you decide, we show you the numbers in writing: what you get now (advance), what’s set aside until your customer pays (reserve, if any), and the cost (fee).
If you are comparing Seattle factoring companies, start with what the quote shows in writing. For Seattle businesses that invoice B2B customers on 30, 60, or 75-day terms, the quote should show the advance, fee, reserve, paperwork needed, funding timing, agreement terms, and who answers after setup.
Here is the short version of what Orange Commercial Credit can show you before you decide.
However you got here, the pressure is usually the same.
You need your money before the
30, 60, or 75-day terms you gave your customers.
However you got here, the pressure is usually the same.
You need your money before the
30, 60, or 75-day terms you gave your customers.
The work’s already done. The invoices are out. And your bills are piling up, unpaid, while you’re left waiting.
Trucking. Staffing. Manufacturing.
Different work. Same wait.
Your customer wants 30, 45, or even 60‑day terms. To win the business, you agree. No matter the terms, you still have bills to pay.
Payroll, fuel, insurance,
materials, equipment, repairs...
The bills keep coming while you wait out those terms. You can put expenses on a card while you wait, but the card bill comes due long before your customer pays.
Wait too long and you’re the one
stuck with late fees or interest.
If you run a business in Seattle and you are choosing an invoice factoring company, start with the items that affect your cash this week: advance rate, fee, reserve, customer approval, paperwork review, funding timing, and who answers after setup.
Search results may show invoice factoring companies with physical offices in Seattle, nearby Greater Seattle providers, Puget Sound providers, Kent freight factoring providers, Washington-based providers, map listings, phone numbers, reviews, freight-focused providers, accounts receivable financing companies, SBA or working capital lenders, and companies serving Washington, Oregon, or Idaho. Those details can help you build a shortlist.
They do not show the advance, fee, reserve, payment instructions, funding timing, or who answers after setup for the invoices you want funded.
Do not stop at a Seattle address, a freight-only offer, or fast approval language. Use those details to collect names. Use the written quote to make the decision.
If the quote shows the advance, reserve, fee, paperwork, timing, and support in writing, you have something real to compare.
A search for invoice factoring companies with offices in Seattle, WA can show physical Seattle offices, nearby Greater Seattle providers, Washington-based factoring companies, Puget Sound providers, freight factoring providers, fuel card or carrier-service bundles, staffing factoring providers, manufacturing factoring providers, accounts receivable financing companies, SBA or working capital lenders, regional providers, referral listings, and national factoring companies that serve Seattle businesses.
The provider type matters less than the written quote. A useful comparison starts with one real customer and one real invoice.
| Provider type you may see | What it usually means | What to check before you choose |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Seattle office | May show a Seattle street address, suite number, local phone number, map listing, local reviews, or office hours. | Whether the office location changes the written quote, customer review, invoice review, payment instructions, funding timing, agreement terms, or account support. |
| Washington office serving Seattle | May have a Washington office outside Seattle while serving Seattle, King County, Puget Sound, and statewide businesses. | Whether the state office changes the quote, customer review, invoice review, payment instructions, funding timing, or who answers after setup. |
| Nearby Greater Seattle or Puget Sound provider | May serve Seattle from Kent, Bellevue, Tacoma, Federal Way, Mercer Island, Everett, or another regional location. | Whether nearby access changes the written numbers, customer notice, reserve handling, invoice choice, funding timing, or account support. |
| National or regional direct funder | May serve Seattle businesses without requiring a Seattle office visit. | Whether you can send one customer and one invoice for review, then see the advance, reserve, fee, and funding timing in writing. |
| Staffing factoring or payroll funding provider | May focus on temporary staffing, healthcare staffing, IT staffing, industrial staffing, security staffing, logistics staffing, weekly payroll, approved timesheets, and customer invoice review. | Whether payroll funding is invoice factoring, and whether the customer, invoice, approved timesheets, service agreement, advance, reserve, fee, minimums, and timing are shown in writing. |
| Payroll processor, back-office partner, or financial staffing firm | May help with payroll processing, accounting staff, finance recruiting, back-office work, or payroll administration instead of buying unpaid invoices. | Whether the company is actually funding approved invoices, processing payroll, staffing your accounting team, or advising on cash flow. Those are different services. |
| Manufacturing or industrial factoring provider | May focus on manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, machine shops, maritime support companies, aerospace suppliers, industrial service companies, or other B2B manufacturing invoices. | Whether the purchase order, packing list, delivery proof, bill of lading, work ticket, QC paperwork, customer approval, and invoice terms support the invoice being factored. |
| Purchase order, supply-chain, or import/export finance provider | May advertise funding for raw materials, purchase orders, supplier costs, imports, exports, or supply-chain timing before the customer invoice is ready. | Whether the product is invoice factoring or a different financing structure with different collateral, timing, repayment, customer notice, fees, and exit terms. |
| Asset-based lending, equipment, or inventory finance provider | May offer a credit line or financing tied to receivables, equipment, inventory, machinery, or other business assets. | What the money is tied to, what collateral is required, what reporting is due, how the cost is charged, and whether the offer is factoring or a loan. |
| Freight factoring provider | Usually focuses on carriers, owner-operators, fleets, rate confirmations, BOLs, PODs, broker or customer approval, and freight backup paperwork. | Whether broker or customer approval, invoice packet review, account setup, transfer method, and written funding timing are explained before speed is promised. |
| Seattle-Tacoma port freight or drayage factor | May focus on Port of Seattle, Port of Tacoma, intermodal freight, drayage, container trucking, owner-operators, small fleets, BOLs, PODs, and broker or shipper review. | Whether the broker or customer can be reviewed, the invoice packet supports the completed load, and the written quote shows the advance, reserve, fee, funding timing, customer notice, and account support. |
| SBA, loan, or working capital lender | May facilitate SBA loans, working capital loans, bridge loans, or other financing that is not invoice factoring. | Whether the product is a loan, invoice factoring, or another structure with different approval, collateral, repayment, and timing rules. |
| Construction-focused or specialty receivables provider | May advertise construction, retainage, progress billing, medical, or other specialty receivable programs. | Whether your invoice type is eligible. Orange Commercial Credit does not fund most construction invoices, third-party medical receivables, or consumer invoices. |
| Review site, directory, or referral listing | May help you find names, reviews, rankings, or referral options. | Who funds the invoice, who contacts the customer, who answers after setup, and who puts the numbers in writing. |
Orange Commercial Credit has a Washington office. You do not need to visit a factoring office in Seattle just to start the conversation.
A Seattle office, a Greater Seattle office, a Kent office, or a local phone number can feel reassuring. But the location is not what decides whether factoring works. The customer review, invoice review, written quote, payment notice, and person who answers after setup do.
The real test is simple: can the customer be approved, can the invoice be verified, can the paperwork support it, and can the advance, reserve, fee, and funding timing be shown in writing before you decide?
| What you see in search | What to check before you choose |
|---|---|
| Seattle office or local phone number | Whether the company also shows clear written terms, customer review, invoice review, payment instructions, funding timing, and account support. |
| Washington office outside Seattle | Whether the state office changes the quote, paperwork review, funding timing, or who answers after setup. |
| Map listing, reviews, or nearby Puget Sound provider | Whether the provider reviews your customer and invoice before showing written numbers. |
| High advance rate | Whether the reserve, fee, payment instructions, and payment timing are shown in writing before you factor. |
| Fast approval or fast funding claim | Whether funding depends on customer approval, invoice verification, account setup, cutoff, bank timing, and the transfer method used. |
| Freight factoring or trucking-only provider | Whether the provider can review the broker or customer, rate confirmation, BOL, POD, accessorial backup, and funding timing before promising speed. |
| Fuel card, insurance, permit, or carrier-service bundle | Whether the extra service is tied to factoring minimums, invoice choice, rates, reserve release, switching terms, or money owed to you. |
| SBA loan, working capital loan, or business finance offer | Whether the offer is invoice factoring or a different product with different collateral, repayment, approval, and timing terms. |
| Purchase order, supply-chain, asset-based lending, equipment, or inventory financing offer | Whether the offer is invoice factoring or a different product tied to raw materials, a purchase order, equipment, inventory, receivables, collateral, reporting, or repayment terms. |
| Customer notice language | Who contacts the customer, where the customer sends payment, and when that payment posts to our bank. |
Nearby can feel helpful. The written numbers are what protect the decision.
Orange Commercial Credit fits that comparison as an independent factoring company with a Washington office in Olympia, serving Seattle and Washington businesses that want customer review, invoice review, written numbers, payment notice, and account support before they factor.
One customer and one invoice are enough to see whether the numbers work.
Want to talk through one Seattle invoice?
Call Orange Commercial Credit. We’ll ask who your customer is, what invoice you want reviewed, and what backup paperwork you have.
You do not need every detail ready. One customer and one invoice are enough to start the conversation.
Talk through one invoice.
1-800-231-3878
No phone menu. No setup fee. No obligation. You decide after you see the numbers.
We're Orange Commercial Credit. What we do is buy the invoices for work you’ve already done. It’s called invoice factoring and we’ve been doing it since 1979.
Through recessions, slow seasons, and the ups and downs of every business cycle, Orange Commercial Credit has kept clients funded so payroll, fuel, and repairs get paid even when your customers’ payments are still weeks away.
You send us your customer's invoice and once it's approved, we send you most of the money up front.
This up-front payment is called an advance. Depending on your industry, it can be as high as 98% of the invoice.
When your customer pays in full, on the next cycle you receive the remainder minus our factoring discount fee, which can range from 1.25% - 5%.
You choose which invoices to sell. Use it when you need it, skip it when you don’t.
We’ve been through decades of change, but one thing never changes: your bills don’t stop. That’s why your money shouldn’t wait.
Over the years we’ve worked with trucking companies, staffing firms, service providers and manufacturers just like you. Many have been with us five years or more.
They stay because the money’s there when they need it and because they value the service they receive.
They have one dedicated account executive who is backed by an experienced team ready to answer all their questions.
Most of our business comes from referrals. Our clients refer because they know their friends will get the same service they do.
A produce hauler told us what it feels like working with OCC:
“We love OCC! They have taken care of us since 2021. We have the pleasure of working with our account rep. She is such a big help. Always quick to respond to any questions or inquiries we may have. She is always available and I know that I can always count on her. She’s the best! Quick payment, great rates, excellent communication. A trusted company. Highly recommend.”
—Mariya, Owner-Operator, Produce Hauler
A trucking owner told us how she first came to OCC:
“I turned to my friend Mike for advice and he referred me to his factor… OCC. She reviewed my paperwork and explained step by step what I needed to do including outlining who to contact, what numbers to reference and what I needed to ask.”
—Alyssa, Owner, Long-Haul Trucking Company
With us, even if your customer pays on 30, 45, or 60-day terms, you’ll have the cash in your account; usually within 24 hours of invoice approval once you’re established as a client.
Factoring Invoices Since 1979
Trucking, staffing, and manufacturing companies in
Seattle and across Washington use us when the wait gets too long.
One customer. One invoice. One call.
You get a person, not a menu:
1-800-231-3878
The only way this works is if your customer’s good for it. That’s why our credit check matters.
We’ve been doing this since 1979, and many of our credit team members have been here 10+ years. They know how to check credit right.
We focus on getting you paid faster on approved invoices.
It’s one thing to hear you’ll get paid...
Here’s what happens, step by step, from the time you send an invoice until the final payment clears.
In invoice factoring, the first thing we do is check your customer’s credit. We pull their payment history up front—even before you send us an invoice—because that’s how we decide if we can buy the invoice from you.
Once they're approved, you send an invoice, and our team then reviews the supporting paperwork that goes with it.
Once your invoice is approved and you're set up as a client, we notify your customer to send payment directly to us and confirm they’ve accepted the change.
It doesn’t change the work you did or the price on the invoice. It updates their Accounts Payable on where to send the payment.
The last step is the funding, the part you care about most.
That’s when the money hits your account.
On every funding you’ll see:
For some industries, we can advance up to 98% of the invoice within 24 hours. On a $10,000 trucking company invoice, that usually means $9,700 to $9,800 up front.
Depending on your company and your industry, we may hold back a small portion of the invoice as a reserve. Not all factoring agreements hold a reserve, but if yours does, it's a small amount set aside until your customer pays the invoice in full. It helps protect you against having to pay us out of pocket for any uncollectible portions of your invoices.
Typically, available reserve balances are refunded (minus our discount fee) on the next cycle following collections.
The discount fee depends on:
Whatever the case, we let you know the fee before you decide — no surprises.
That's how our factoring works.
Ready to see your numbers? You always see the advance, any reserve, and our fee before you decide. No surprises. Call and we’ll walk you through one invoice on the phone:
1-800-231-3878
The difference with us? We’re independent so we can set your terms the way you need them.
We don’t answer to outside investors. We’re privately held with no board calling the shots. We’re business owners too.
Your terms come from us, and no one else.
We know what it takes to meet payroll and keep the lights on. And we also know that every business is different. We don't drop numbers into a formula.
We base terms on what we see in your invoices and your customers, not on a one-size-fits-all chart.
One flatbed hauler said it best:
“It doesn’t matter if you bring $1 or a million, I guarantee you these people will treat you as a family member. We will always see these people as a great place for financial support and great customer care.”
—Rico, Flatbed Hauling
In the end, it comes down to trust. Who do you want to rely on when the bills can’t wait? With us, it starts simple: pick one customer, one invoice, and make one call.
You’re probably asking: So how would this work in my business?
The answer depends on the work you do.
We don’t fund most types of construction, third party medical receivables or consumer invoices. But we have funded companies across more than 50 industries.
We fund invoices for work that’s already done. The goods are already delivered, but your customer’s on terms.
The real issue is when the wait drags well beyond 30 or 45 days.
Let's walk through a few examples in trucking, staffing, and manufacturing, the industries where this matters the most.
Trucking advances can be as high as 98% of the invoice.
You’re here because you’re done waiting to get paid. At Orange Commercial Credit, we buy approved unpaid invoices so carriers can have money for expenses that won’t wait: repairs, fuel, payroll, detention, lumper fees, and shop bills.
This is called trucking factoring. You may also hear it called freight factoring or freight bill factoring.
For Seattle carriers comparing freight factoring or trucking factoring, the comparison should start with the route, invoice packet, broker or customer approval, and when we can send most of the money after setup.
Seattle and Puget Sound carriers may be hauling port freight, intermodal freight, drayage, or container loads through the Port of Seattle, Port of Tacoma, Terminal 18, Terminal 5, Harbor Island, SODO, the Duwamish corridor, Kent Valley warehouses, Tacoma, Everett, or Snoqualmie Pass. The useful question is not just who advertises fast funding. It is whether the rate confirmation, BOL or POD, accessorial backup, broker or customer approval, and funding timing match the invoice you need reviewed.
Once the broker or customer is approved, the invoice packet is verified, and your account is set up, we usually send most of the money within 24 hours.
You may also see Seattle freight factoring companies advertise fuel cards, insurance help, permits, fuel tax filing, mobile apps, or other carrier-service bundles. Those services can matter, but they should be compared separately from the factoring terms.
Fuel cards, insurance help, permits, fuel tax filing, mobile apps, and other carrier-service bundles can help when trucks are running port freight, I-5, I-90, Harbor Island, SODO, the Duwamish corridor, Kent Valley warehouses, Tacoma, Everett, and Snoqualmie Pass.
The question is whether the extra service is tied to the factoring agreement.
Before you sign, ask whether the bundle affects factoring minimums, invoice choice, rates, reserve release, switching terms, or money owed back to you.
If you already have fuel credit, insurance, permits, or fuel tax filing handled, you may want the carrier-service bundle and the factoring agreement reviewed separately. If you need those services tied together, the terms should be written down before you decide.
Extra services can help. The factoring quote should still show the fee, invoice choice, minimums, reserve, and switching terms before you decide.
We work with all of them every day
and the story's always the same.
The load’s already hauled. The paperwork’s in. The only thing missing is the money in your account.
And the paperwork looks different depending on the job.
However you haul it, the wait is the same.
The load’s delivered, the paperwork’s in, and you’re still not paid.
Meanwhile, fuel, payroll, and repairs are due now. That’s when you sell us the invoice, and we send the cash.
You’ve seen the ads: same-day funding, fuel cards, mobile apps, even 24/7 payouts. That’s all fine.
So the real question is:
Will the money actually
be there when you need it?
Yes! For clients with approved customers, funds usually go out within 24 hours of invoice verification.
And what about brokers?
You may not know if one’s been paying slow before you book the load.
That’s what our credit team does every day. We flag slow payers before you haul, so you don’t waste miles on a load that won’t pay.
We’ve been doing this since 1979. Many on our credit team have been here more than ten years.
That’s why your paperwork moves fast, and your funds go out on time.
Friday payroll comes due. Fuel card drafts this week. The truck note hits this month.
And the shop won’t release a truck until the repair’s paid. Plus, you need tires and have insurance renewals.
Carry a balance on your card, and the interest adds up.
Fuel bills spike, and drafts hit your account whether or not a broker’s check has cleared.
None of those bills wait.
You need to get paid.
If your runs are working Terminal 18 on Harbor Island and Terminal 5, you are moving through some of the main port lanes in Seattle. Terminal 5 covers 185 acres and can handle 18,000-TEU vessels, so gate pressure can build fast when bigger ship calls hit the harbor picture.
West Marginal Way SW and SW Manning Street are part of that same harbor picture when trucks are staging in and out of the gates. The Duwamish side can also pull in East Marginal Way S, 1st Ave S, and the Spokane Street Swing Bridge when industrial customers are moving along the river.
Hanford Street rail crossings and SoDo warehouse lanes can also affect the same local freight flow. Seattle says Spokane Street Swing Bridge openings last about 10 minutes on average, so a bridge opening can still narrow the delivery window at the wrong time.
Reefer and southbound runs can move through I-5, I-90, 4th Ave S, and SR 167 toward the Kent Valley. Eastbound freight can also keep moving through I-90 toward Snoqualmie Pass, the Tri-Cities, and inland export lanes.
WSDOT says Snoqualmie Pass carries about 28,000 vehicles a day, including about 5,600 freight vehicles, so eastbound runs can tighten up fast when pass conditions or chain-up rules hit the schedule.
Gate times and appointment times run the day. If the delivery window closes, the load waits.
You still have fuel to buy.
Payroll is Friday. Your customer is paying on 30, 60 or 75 day terms.
A fleet owner put it this way:
“Amazing people working at this company! Always a phone call away always eager to help and always getting the issues solved. Great % rates and overall great people starting from managers to accountants and assistants. Been working with them for over 4.5 years with no problems or complications what so ever.”
—Vitaliy, Interstate Freight Carrier
An intermodal freight fleet owner told us what OCC meant for his business:
“Orange Commercial Credit (OCC) was instrumental in our growth from the very beginning. They not only understand the trucking industry but also specialize in the intermodal and drayage business. The funding is quick, the relationships are deep, the rates are fantastic, and the trust earned is invaluable. I have been able to personally recommend OCC to many of our Clients over the past years and have always heard great feedback in return. Thank you OCC for your commitment and friendship. Clients like me really do appreciate it!”
—Michael S., President, Intermodal, Client since 2013
A long-haul carrier told us why the credit check matters:
“OCC is an exceptional factoring company! Not only do they help us with our invoices, but also advise us on broker credibility, ensuring that we are getting paid for our work. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my AE for her prompt responses to my inquiries. It makes a real difference.”
—Tom A., Long-Haul Trucking
Tom’s quote shows what a fleet counts on with credit checks. But when it’s just you and your truck, it’s fuel, repairs, insurance, and the bills waiting at home. All on you.
Fuel card drafts hit every week. The truck note’s coming due. Add shop repairs and home bills. Waiting 30–45 days for a broker to pay just doesn’t cut it.
That’s why we usually send the money within 24 hours; so it’s there before the next bill hits.
Here’s how another owner-operator put it after using OCC for years:
“I'm a small carrier owner operator.
I've been using Orange Commercial Credit for about 4 years now and I couldn't be more happier with the service provided by OCC.
OCC is very fair with their rate and they pay out very quickly (next day).
Their staff is great, very professional and nice.
I recommend OCC for all carriers who need a factoring company.”
—Ezechiel, Owner-Operator, OCC client since their first load
Ezechiel’s an owner-operator, and the bills don’t wait any less when you’re hauling hot shot loads.
Hot shot runs are smaller, but the bills still stack up just as fast.
Whether you're in an F-350, a Ram, or a Duramax with a gooseneck or bumper-pull, one stretch of repair and fuel bills can drain your cash fast.
You could really use that new Big Tex tandem dual wheel, but trailer payments stack up fast.
And if a broker’s been paying slow, you hear it from us before you waste the trip, not later.
A hot shot driver explained why she sticks with OCC:
“Orange Commercial Credit is an excellent company to work with. They offer exactly what we need to run our trucking company, we always know what brokers are safe to work with due to Orange’s credit check feature. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I have never had a bad experience with our assigned Account Executive or any other staff member for that matter, the whole team is great!”
—Crystal, Hot Shot Trucking
You’ve done the work. You shouldn’t be waiting a month to see the money.
Most clients start with just one customer, one invoice, and one call to us. Even if you just have a question, call us. We'd be happy to talk with you.
If you’re running loads in or out of Seattle or anywhere in Washington, we can walk through one invoice on the phone:
1-800-231-3878
We’ve been checking broker and shipper credit since 1979.
Staffing advances can be as high as 90% of the invoice.
For Seattle staffing agencies comparing payroll funding or staffing factoring, the comparison should start with approved timesheets, the customer being billed, payroll timing, and what the quote shows before you decide.
Seattle staffing firms may be filling warehouse, logistics, maritime support, healthcare support, industrial, security, technology, or event shifts while customers stay on 30, 60, or 75-day terms. The payroll pressure is local, but the factoring review still comes back to the customer, invoice, approved timesheets, service agreement, and written numbers.
Once the customer is approved, the timesheets are verified, and your account is set up, we usually send most of the money within 24 hours so payroll can stay on schedule.
If you run a staffing agency, payroll means two things: the recruiters in your office and the workers already out on site.
Timesheets get signed, checks go out every Friday, and customers may not pay for 30, 60 or more days.
The hours are already worked. Payroll’s due. The money isn’t in yet.
However you staff it, the work is done and you’re still waiting to get paid.
And it’s never just wages. You've got:
Yes. Payroll processors, back-office partners, accounting recruiters, and staffing factoring companies can all show up in Seattle staffing finance searches. They do not do the same job.
Payroll software may organize hours, taxes, and direct deposits. A recruiting or finance staffing firm may help you hire accounting people. Staffing factoring starts with the customer, approved timesheets, the invoice, and the written factoring quote.
Before you choose, ask whether the company is buying approved unpaid invoices or only helping with payroll administration, back-office work, recruiting, or cash-flow advice.
The payroll tool may help you run payroll. The written factoring quote shows what happens to the invoice, advance, fee, reserve, and customer payment.
Payroll software can organize hours, direct deposits, taxes, and worker records. Staffing factoring is different. It starts with the customer, approved timesheets, the invoice, and the written factoring quote.
Before you choose a payroll funding provider, ask whether any portal, transfer method, software fee, monthly minimum, renewal term, or termination term changes the factoring agreement.
The payroll tool may organize the run. The written quote shows what happens to the invoice, advance, fee, reserve, and customer payment.
If your staffing is focused on the SODO industrial district and the maritime support side of Interbay, you are filling some of the main warehouse, industrial, and port-support shifts in Seattle.
That hiring can also pull from South Park and Georgetown when crews are moving into the Duwamish M/IC and the East Marginal Way S side of the city. Seattle says East Marginal Way S moves thousands of trucks a day, so that same corridor can stay busy when workers are trying to get into shift.
The Spokane Street Swing Bridge is part of that same work picture when the river crossing affects how workers get into shift. Seattle says bridge openings there last about 10 minutes on average, so one opening can still tighten the commute at the wrong time.
If your crews are tied to Interbay, Fishermen’s Terminal and Terminal 91 are part of the same staffing draw. The 15th Ave W side can matter there when maritime, cruise, and industrial support work are all pulling from the same labor pool.
The 1 Line is also part of the Seattle commute picture for some workers, especially around SODO, Stadium, and Mount Baker. If a worker still has to transfer after the train, the last stretch into shift can decide whether the crew gets there on time.
Kent Valley hiring can also feed into the same broader labor draw when warehouse and production crews are coming north from Kent, Renton, or Auburn. When that commute stretches out, second-shift coverage can get harder to hold.
When a bridge delay hits, a train or bus transfer gets missed, or the Duwamish side backs up, workers can show up late and shift coverage can get thin fast.
If a shift isn't filled, the job doesn't happen.
You still have rent and insurance to pay.
Payroll is Friday. Your client is paying on 30, 60 or 75 day terms.
Without funding, some owners try to stretch their own payables or pay bills with credit cards. Others dip into personal savings, just trying to bridge the weeks until customers finally send payment.
A staffing owner explained how OCC let him take on more customers:
“I can always count on them. Orange Commercial has helped me take on clients I normally could not afford to take. The setup process with them was easy. They let you choose which clients you want to factor. Pricing is reasonable for the industry. Customer service is great and I can always count on them to send me funds when I need it.”
—George, Owner and Client Since 2016, Staffing Company
A staffing owner told us how OCC changed his cash flow:
“As a staffing company owner, I heavily rely on cash flow to keep my operations running smoothly and meet payroll, OCC's factoring process is incredibly streamlined and hassle-free. Their newly implemented online platform is user-friendly, making it easy for me to submit and track invoices. This new system allows me to receive funds quickly and efficiently, greatly improving my cash flow management. I highly recommend them.”
—Joe, Owner, Staffing Company,(Client since 2018)
And that’s how factoring works in staffing. A lot of owners call it payroll funding. Payroll runs every week, along with taxes, insurance, and benefits. With Orange Commercial Credit, the funds are there so checks go out on time.
You’ve made payroll. You shouldn’t be carrying it for weeks while customers take their time.
You send the invoice and approved timesheets; we review and send funds so your people get paid on time, even when customers take 30–60 days to pay you.
Most agencies start with just one customer, one invoice, and one call to us.
Or if you have just one question, call us now and get an answer:
We advance on your staffing invoices so you can run payroll,
pay taxes, and cover benefits.
Manufacturing advances can be as high as 90% of the invoice.
For Seattle manufacturers comparing manufacturing invoice factoring, the comparison should start with the customer, invoice, purchase order, packing list, bill of lading, delivery proof, or signed QC paperwork tied to the completed order.
Seattle and Puget Sound manufacturers may be buying raw materials, paying suppliers, scheduling shop work, shipping finished goods, or waiting on customer payment from distributors, OEMs, maritime customers, aerospace customers, or commercial accounts. The useful quote shows the advance, reserve, fee, paperwork needed, and funding timing before the next supplier bill or payroll date becomes the pressure point.
If a search result mentions purchase order financing, asset-based lending, equipment financing, supply-chain finance, import/export finance, or a line of credit, ask what the money is tied to: a purchase order, finished goods, a verified invoice, equipment, inventory, receivables, or a larger credit facility.
Once the customer is approved, the invoice is verified, and your account is set up, we usually send most of the money within 24 hours so payroll, materials, and supplier bills can stay on schedule.
Staffing firms feel it every Friday. Manufacturers do too, just with different bills.
Yes. Purchase order financing, asset-based lending, equipment financing, supply-chain finance, import/export finance, and invoice factoring can all appear in Seattle manufacturing search results. The question is what the money is tied to: a purchase order, finished goods, a verified invoice, equipment, inventory, receivables, or a larger credit facility.
Purchase order financing may be reviewed before finished goods are delivered. Asset-based lending or equipment financing may depend on collateral, reporting, and larger credit terms. Invoice factoring starts after work is complete, the customer can be reviewed, and the invoice backup supports the bill.
Before you decide, ask which product is being quoted, what paperwork is needed, where the customer sends payment, and when any reserve can release.
If your manufacturing centers on the Georgetown metal shops and the fabrication yards along the Duwamish River, you are working some of the main industrial lanes in Seattle.
That work can also pull through East Marginal Way S, 1st Ave S, and the Duwamish M/IC when inbound metal, parts, and finished goods are moving between shops, rail, and port-side customers.
The Spokane Street Swing Bridge is part of that same freight picture when plant traffic has to cross between the maritime and industrial sides of the river. Seattle says bridge openings there last about 10 minutes on average, so one opening can still tighten the schedule at the wrong time.
Some of those orders also tie back to the Kent Valley and Auburn side through SR 167, where machine shops and suppliers can still feed aerospace, industrial, and precision-manufacturing work into Seattle.
Sea-Tac’s Sustainable Airport Master Plan is also part of the wider cargo picture now. The Port says the near-term SAMP program includes 31 projects, so some project freight is still sharing the same broader southbound lanes.
On the north side, work near Terminal 91 and Fishermen’s Terminal can also tie into maritime fabrication and marine-support orders. The Maritime Innovation Center is a 15,000-square-foot facility, and the Terminal 91 Uplands project adds about 400,000 square feet of industrial space to that same draw.
When a bridge crossing slows down, SR 167 freight backs up, or port-side traffic bunches up, inbound materials can show up late, outbound shipments can get pushed back, and the line can end up waiting on the next part or pickup.
If materials are late, the production line slows.
Power and utility bills keep running.
Payroll is Friday. Your customer is paying on 30, 60 or 75 day terms.
Suppliers want to be paid in 15 to 30 days. Customers take 45 to 60 days and sometimes longer. And they don’t release payment until every piece of paperwork lines up:
By the time you deliver and gather it all, you’ve already cut the checks weeks ago. And you’re still waiting on their payment.
And this is where factoring
helps in manufacturing.
You send the invoice with the paperwork. We review the customer, invoice, and backup. Once the customer is approved, the invoice is verified, and your account is set up, we usually send most of the money within 24 hours. You do not wait 45 to 60 days for your customer to pay before payroll, materials, and supplier bills can be handled.
A pallet manufacturer told us how OCC became part of their growth:
“I’ve been working with OCC for over 9 years now and they’re like a partner for me.
I could not have grown my business this quickly without them!
My account executive is great.
I get credit checks done same day on new business and have never had a complaint from any customer.”
—E.H., President, Pallet Manufacturer
A machine shop owner found that factoring with OCC was "very easy to work with":
“Finding out about OCC has helped keep my business operating with the cash flow I am now receiving. Within a day the money is in my account. During the whole process, OCC was very easy to work with. They made sure I was completely confident and work with me step by step, and the staff is very patient. I would recommend them to any business. Once you start with OCC, you will also be recommending them.”
—Val, Owner and Client Since 2017, Machine Shop
Whether it’s pallets, plastics, machining or food processing, if you’ve already delivered and sent the invoice, you don't need to be waiting 45 to 60 days for payment.
With us, you send the invoice with the backup. We review it and send the money; usually within 24 hours.
Pull one invoice from one customer,
and give us a call.
We'll walk you through it.
Call us today.
Manufacturers in Seattle and across Washington use us when customer terms run long.
Here's another benefit to factoring
you may not be aware of:
If you’re a pallet manufacturer sending a quote, a distributor supplying parts, or a service firm chasing contracts, you’ve heard it:
“Can you give us Net-30?”
Sometimes Net-45. Buyers ask for it every day. And if you can’t offer it, they move on. With factoring in place, you can say yes without tying up your own cash.
Longer terms can:
What matters most is whether your customer pays, and whether the invoice is clear, verified, and for work that has already been done.
Things like tax liens or pledged invoices can slow things down, but we will talk it through with you.
If we can help, we will say so fast. If not, we will tell you that too. No guesswork.
Call us and we will go over one of your customer’s invoices together.
No. Invoice factoring is not a loan. You sell an invoice for work already done, so there is no new debt.
It is money your customer already owes. Factoring lets you get most of that money sooner, after the customer is approved, the invoice is verified, and your account is set up.
Yes. Receivables factoring, accounts receivable factoring, A/R financing, A/R funding, and invoice factoring are often used for the same basic idea.
You do the work and invoice your customer. We review the customer and invoice. We send most of the money after approval and setup. Your customer pays. When payment posts to our bank, any available reserve releases under the stated terms, minus the fee.
Factoring fee range: 1.25% - 5% (varies by deal).
The discount fee is a percentage of the invoice. How much depends on your industry, how fast your customer pays, your customer’s credit, and the dollar amount of invoices you sell us.
You always see the cost up front before you decide.
After your customer pays, we release the available reserve minus any ACH or wire fees as part of the monthly reserve release.
Money-transfer fees can be in the range of $2 ACH or $12 wire transfer fees, but can vary depending on your program and your bank. A wire transfer is optional. Ask your bank if they also charge a wire receiving fee.
This list is here so the numbers do not surprise you later.
If you only ask three, start here:
Full checklist:
1) Advance rate:
This is what you get up front. A lower advance can mean you are waiting on more of your own money until your customer pays.
2) Factoring fee:
Ask what the fee covers: per 10 days, per 30 days, daily, or flat. If it is tiered, ask for the full tier schedule in writing.
3) Recourse period (how long the invoice can stay open):
Ask what happens if your customer still has not paid by then.
4) Recourse or non-recourse terms:
Ask what the terms make you responsible for if the customer does not pay, disputes the invoice, short-pays it, or the paperwork does not match.
5) Customer credit concentration limits (how much they will fund for one customer):
Ask what the limit is if one customer is a big share of your billing.
6) Reserve:
This is what is held back and released when your customer pays, minus the fee. Ask when reserves are released and how those are processed.
7) “Other” delivery fees:
These do not change the factoring fee. They are extra costs you may pay to receive money, and your bank may charge a receiving fee.
• ACH electronic transfer send fee
• Wire transfer send fee
• Wire transfer receiving fee (ask your bank)
8) Minimums or commitment fees:
Ask if you pay a fee when you do not factor enough in a slow month.
9) What other fees do you charge?
Ask for a full list: setup, portal, monthly fees, invoice fees, due diligence, termination, buyout, or anything that can show up later.
10) Contract term:
Ask how long you are agreeing to, and how it renews.
• Initial term length
• Renewal term length
11) What notice do you need to stop factoring?
Ask what proper notice means and when it must be given.
• If you are moving to another factor
• If you just do not need factoring anymore
If they will not put it in writing, you cannot really compare it.
No. You choose which invoices to sell. Most clients start with just one, like a $5,000 load that has already been delivered.
Most of our clients are trucking companies, staffing firms, and manufacturers. But we have funded companies across more than 50 industries.
The process works the same for any business that bills other businesses. Orange Commercial Credit does not fund most construction invoices, third-party medical receivables, or consumer invoices.
Seattle examples of where the work happens:
Trucking: Terminal 18 on Harbor Island and Terminal 5 runs, with reefer loads routed through the I-5/I-90/4th Ave S split and the Kent Valley via SR-167 out toward the Tri-Cities.
Staffing: Crews placed into SODO and Interbay roles, with workers pulled from the Kent Valley corridor. Some crews are tied to Fishermen’s Terminal and Terminal 91.
Manufacturing: Georgetown metal shops and Duwamish River fabrication yards, with suppliers and runs moving through the Kent Valley via SR-167, including aerospace parts coming out of Kent Valley machine shops.
No. Trucking, staffing, and manufacturing are our biggest groups, but we also help many other B2B companies, including:
Plus other businesses that invoice customers on 30–75 day terms.
Yes. Orange Commercial Credit has a Washington office and serves Seattle businesses that invoice B2B customers on terms.
You do not need to visit a Seattle factoring office just to start the conversation. One customer, one invoice, and the backup paperwork are enough to review the written numbers.
The quote should show the advance, reserve, fee, paperwork needed, funding timing, customer notice, payment instructions, and who answers after setup.
A Seattle office can help you build a shortlist. A local address, phone number, map listing, or office hours can make the company easier to compare.
Before you choose, ask what the written quote shows: customer review, invoice review, advance, reserve, fee, paperwork needed, funding timing, customer notice, payment instructions, agreement terms, and who answers after setup.
Orange Commercial Credit has a Washington office and serves Seattle businesses. You do not need to visit a Seattle factoring office to review one customer, one invoice, and the written numbers before you decide.
At Orange Commercial Credit, our portal shows every invoice and payment: status, paperwork, and credit, so you always know where you stand.
You do not have to wonder
if a payment was posted right.
Your paperwork is handled by our team. Many have been here for years and know how invoice questions, payment questions, and paperwork questions usually get fixed.
At Orange Commercial Credit, you get a dedicated account executive. They know you, your business, and your paperwork.
You are not bounced from rep to rep re-explaining the same invoice. You talk to the same person who knows your account, your invoices, and the questions that need to be answered before money is sent.
A logistics company shared what their experience with OCC has been like:
“We have been with OCC for the last 3 years and have had a great relationship. OCC has been a very important part in our business. With their quick credit information on new prospect customers is the key to eliminate any accounting issues.
"We submit our invoices through their scanning program and are funded same day with no problems.
"We have not had any problems or complaints from our customers as they are very kind and professional to them.
"I highly recommend OCC if you are looking for a reliable and honest Factoring Company.”
—Mary, Operations/Accounting, Logistics Company
No. They keep the same price and terms from you.
As the last step in the funding process, we contact your customer to verify the invoice and set up the payment change of address.
If your customer has a question or something is missing, you work it out with them directly. Once it is fixed, we can review the invoice again and confirm the next funding step.
Most of our team has been here ten years or more. They know where invoice questions tend to show up and can explain what needs to be fixed before the next funding step.
Yes. Orange Commercial Credit provides freight factoring and trucking factoring for Seattle, Seattle-Tacoma, Puget Sound, and Washington carriers when the broker or customer is approved, the freight invoice is verified, and the backup paperwork supports the completed load.
That paperwork may include the invoice, rate confirmation, bill of lading, POD, lumper receipt, detention backup, accessorial support, or other freight paperwork tied to the completed load.
For port freight, drayage, intermodal, container trucking, owner-operators, and small fleets, the useful comparison is the same: broker or customer review, invoice packet review, advance, reserve, fee, funding timing, customer notice, and who answers after setup.
Once the broker or customer is approved, the invoice packet is verified, and the account is set up, Orange Commercial Credit usually sends most of the money within 24 hours.
Some freight factoring companies advertise fuel cards, insurance, permits, fuel tax filing, mobile apps, or other carrier-service bundles. Those services can help, but ask whether they are tied to the factoring agreement.
Before you decide, ask whether the bundle affects factoring minimums, invoice choice, rates, reserve release, switching terms, or money owed back to you.
A useful comparison separates the factoring advance, reserve, fee, funding timing, customer notice, and any carrier-service terms before you sign.
Yes, through invoice factoring. Orange Commercial Credit is not a payroll processor, PEO, payroll software company, recruiting firm, or back-office staffing company. We buy approved unpaid B2B invoices so Seattle staffing, warehouse, logistics, maritime support, industrial, healthcare support, technology, security, and service companies can have money for payroll before customers pay.
For staffing companies, the review usually starts with one customer, one invoice, approved timesheets, and the service agreement or customer approval needed to verify the work.
Once the customer is approved, the timesheets are verified, and the account is set up, Orange Commercial Credit usually sends most of the money within 24 hours.
Ask how the fee is charged, what reserve is held, when reserves release, whether there are application fees, processing fees, lockbox fees, ACH or wire fees, monthly minimums, early termination fees, or renewal terms.
Also ask what the recourse or non-recourse terms make you responsible for if the customer does not pay, disputes the invoice, short-pays it, or the timesheets do not match the invoice.
The written quote should show the advance, reserve, fee, paperwork needed, customer notice, payment instructions, funding timing, minimums, invoice choice, and who answers after setup.
Yes. Orange Commercial Credit provides manufacturing invoice factoring for Seattle and Washington manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, machine shops, maritime support companies, aerospace suppliers, industrial service companies, and other B2B companies when the customer is approved, the invoice is verified, and the backup paperwork supports the completed order.
That paperwork may include a purchase order, packing list, bill of lading, freight receipt, proof of delivery, vendor agreement, service contract, work ticket, or signed QC paperwork depending on the invoice.
Once the customer is approved, the invoice is verified, and the account is set up, Orange Commercial Credit usually sends most of the money within 24 hours so payroll, raw materials, supplier bills, and production costs can stay on schedule.
The paperwork depends on the order. A Seattle manufacturing invoice may need a purchase order, packing list, bill of lading, freight receipt, proof of delivery, service contract, work ticket, vendor agreement, or signed QC paperwork.
The useful question is whether the paperwork matches the invoice, the customer can be reviewed, and the customer’s payment instructions are clear before funding continues.
One customer and one invoice packet are enough to start the review and see whether the written numbers work.
Yes. Purchase order financing, trade finance, asset-based lending, equipment financing, inventory financing, and invoice factoring can all appear in Seattle manufacturing search results, but they are not the same product.
Ask what the money is tied to: a purchase order, finished goods, a verified invoice, equipment, inventory, receivables, or a larger credit line. Also ask what collateral, reporting, repayment terms, fees, reserves, minimums, and exit terms apply.
Orange Commercial Credit reviews approved unpaid invoices. One customer, one invoice, and the backup paperwork tied to the completed order are enough to see whether the written factoring numbers work.
Yes. Do not stop at the words recourse or non-recourse. Ask what the terms make your company responsible for if the customer does not pay, disputes the invoice, short-pays it, files bankruptcy, or the paperwork does not match.
For manufacturing invoices, also ask how purchase orders, delivery proof, inspection paperwork, QC paperwork, returns, chargebacks, customer deductions, domestic customers, and international customers affect funding and reserve release.
The written quote should show the advance, reserve, fee, paperwork needed, customer notice, funding timing, and when any reserve can release.
Yes. Seattle search results may show invoice factoring companies, SBA loan facilitators, working capital lenders, and other business finance providers. They are not the same product.
Invoice factoring starts with approved unpaid invoices. A loan may depend on collateral, repayment terms, bank approval, personal or business credit, and a different review process.
Before you decide, ask what the money is tied to: one verified invoice, a loan application, a collateral review, or a larger credit facility.
But it’s not on you.
We get it.
There’s no setup fee and no obligation,
and most times you’ll have an answer
by the next business day.
If the proposal looks right to you, we’ll set up an agreement. It’s a 90-day factoring agreement with no minimum number of invoices required.
It's there when you need it. You’re just giving yourself room to try it and see how it feels.
The agreement lays out the basics:
Once an invoice is approved, the advance is usually sent within 24 hours.
A staffing owner put it this way:
“I can always count on them to send me funds when I need it.”
—George, Owner and Client Since 2016, Staffing Company, KY
No minimums, no quotas. You decide when to use it.
You also get a dedicated account executive who knows your business and picks up when you call — answering your questions on the spot.
And you can log in any time day or night to check on balances and invoices.
If it makes sense, great. If not, you’ll still leave knowing more than you did before.
And for the owners who don't put it off,
here’s what it looks like.
An intermodal owner told us what makes it work:
“We submit our invoices almost daily using their scanning program, and know that when we submit before the deadline we get same day funding.”
—Mike, President Intermodal Transportation & Warehousing Company, and Client Since 2006
The money’s in your account typically within 24 hours. Payroll runs, fuel gets bought, shop bills get paid.
That’s why we tell owners:
if the numbers make sense, don’t wait.
Most owners start with just one invoice — enough to see how the numbers work.
In the end it always comes
back to the same thing:
one customer,
one invoice,
one call.
