Company History

Advanced Funding Group was founded in 2006 in Pennsylvania. After two decades as a self-employed business owner, James made a deliberate pivot into commercial finance — building a practice around one belief: when a company has solid customers and real receivables, it should not have to wait 60 or 90 days to get paid.

What started as a focused factoring practice has grown into a full working-capital platform. James assembled relationships with top-tier lenders nationwide and internationally, studying every major funding structure — invoice factoring, asset-based lending, purchase order finance, equipment finance, and trade finance — so clients get the right tool, not a one-size-fits-all product.

Today, Advanced Funding Group serves businesses across transportation, medical, manufacturing, distribution, import/export, and professional services — from companies doing $5,000 a month in sales to firms requiring eight-figure facilities.

Accomplishments

One of James's landmark transactions was structuring a $7 million asset-based lending line for a company carrying a $24 million tax lien — a deal many lenders would not touch. That client now runs more than $10 million per month in factoring and receivables finance through programs James put in place.

Advanced Funding Group is recognized as a forthright, independent provider of factoring and asset-based lending for small, mid-market, and large businesses. The firm offers U.S. companies a complete suite of services: invoice factoring, invoice discounting, inventory finance, purchase order financing, equipment finance, international trade finance, and related credit solutions.

Under James's leadership, the team has funded multi-million-dollar transactions across industries where timing, flexibility, and direct access to decision-makers matter most.

How We Can Help

We offer funding for a wide range of industries with requirements most businesses can meet — something many competitors struggle to match because of rigid underwriting and limited sector experience.

With Advanced Funding Group, small businesses needing receivable financing can qualify with as little as $5,000 in monthly sales. Companies requiring up to $10 million in working capital can access asset-based programs structured around their balance sheet.

Our clients typically come to us when growth outpaces cash, bank covenants tighten, or a single large opportunity requires capital now — not after a 90-day credit committee.

Businesses we serve include those that are:

  • Expanding faster than working capital can support
  • Launching or scaling a new venture
  • Losing bank credit due to covenant violations
  • Managing seasonal revenue swings
  • Waiting on slow-paying receivables
  • Carrying customer concentration risk
  • Needing export receivable financing, credit protection, or PO funding
  • Requiring in-transit inventory finance
