Experience with onboarding and speed of funding

The onboarding process with C2FO Lending Connections was extremely smooth and far quicker than any traditional financing experience we’ve had. Once the documentation was completed, funds were available promptly, which gave us immediate working-capital flexibility at a crucial time in our cycle. With a large percentage of our revenue coming in Q4, access to quick capital made a measurable difference in our ability to scale production, secure raw materials, and meet large retail purchase-order demands without disruption.

How does C2FO differ from traditional financing options?

C2FO’s approach is far more streamlined, transparent, and business-friendly. Traditional banking options often involve lengthy underwriting, rigid structures, and slow turnaround times, none of which match the fast-moving production and procurement realities of our business. C2FO’s model is tailored to real-world cash-flow needs, with predictable terms and much less administrative friction. It feels more like a partnership built around our operational cycle rather than a one-size-fits-all lending product.

Example of how improved working capital helped capitalize on an opportunity

This year we secured several large Q4 programs with national retailers that required significant upfront purchasing of materials, freight, and production labor. Improved working capital through C2FO allowed us to move quickly locking in raw-material pricing, accelerating production schedules, and avoiding delays that could have cost us major opportunities. Without the flexibility provided through C2FO, scaling up for these large orders in a compressed timeline would have been far more challenging.

Advice for other businesses considering C2FO Lending Connections

For any business with seasonal cycles, large POs, or fluctuating working-capital demands, C2FO Lending Connections can be a transformative tool. The speed, simplicity, and reliability of the program give you the ability to act decisively without being slowed down by traditional banking processes. My advice is to view it not just as financing, but as a way to strategically support growth, protect margins, and increase operational agility during peak periods.
