Logistics and warehousing businesses — fulfillment operations, 3PL providers, distribution centers, and last-mile delivery networks — generate substantial, contract-backed revenue. O-1 holders who have built recognized logistics operations — supply chain innovators cited in industry publications, operations executives with documented performance at major logistics networks, or technology-forward warehouse operators — deserve capital that recognizes the strength of their contract portfolio. Bankable funds O-1 logistics and warehouse businesses on throughput revenue and fulfillment contract history.
Logistics businesses have lumpy capital needs: forklift fleets, racking systems, conveyor technology, and lease expansions require significant upfront investment against long-term contract revenue. Bankable bridges that gap. Check your Bankability Score.
What Logistics & Warehouse Funding Covers
- Warehouse equipment: Forklifts, pallet jacks, conveyor systems, racking
- Facility expansion: Lease deposits, fit-out costs for additional square footage
- Technology: WMS (warehouse management systems), TMS, automation
- Fleet vehicles: Last-mile delivery vans, box trucks
- Working capital: Payroll and operations between customer payment cycles
- Contract onboarding: Costs of ramping up for new fulfillment client accounts
3PL Revenue Documentation
Third-party logistics providers are evaluated using client billing reports, fulfillment fee statements, and bank statements. Key metrics: monthly throughput revenue, number of active client accounts, and contract term length. A 3PL operator with 5 ecommerce brand clients generating $80,000/month in combined fulfillment fees is a strong qualifying profile regardless of the operator's visa status.
Equipment Financing for Warehouse Operations
Forklifts, conveyor systems, and automated sortation equipment are substantial investments with predictable useful lives — making them excellent collateral for equipment-secured financing. An O-1 warehouse operator acquiring $300,000 in material handling equipment can finance the purchase with the equipment itself as security, at lower effective rates than unsecured working capital. Bankable evaluates the equipment's condition and resale value alongside the operator's contract revenue history.
