FundThrough

Invoice Factoring

Skip waiting on net terms.
Grow your business or pay everyday expenses by getting invoices paid in days.
We get it: waiting on 30, 60, or 90 day net terms creates constant cash flow gaps. Banks often won’t fund new businesses, and take months to approve - even to raise a limit on an existing line of credit.

We’re entrepreneurs and finance experts who know how hard it is to need capital for daily expenses or big growth projects while waiting for customers to pay. That’s why we built FundThrough, a tech-powered invoice funding platform. We pay your invoices in days and do the waiting for you. You get back to business. It really is that easy.
