Selling to big customers on their timeline
Fremont, named for John C. Frémont, incorporated in 1956 and counted 230,504 residents in the 2020 census. Wikipedia describes a strong tech presence. Lam Research, Seagate Technology and SYNNEX are among the companies it lists as headquartered in the city, and the Tesla manufacturing plant is its largest employer.
An economy built around large manufacturers creates plenty of smaller businesses that serve them: machine shops, cleanroom and facility services, electrical contractors, staffing firms, IT and logistics vendors, and caterers. Big customers buy reliably, but they pay on their own schedule, and net-45 or net-60 is common. The small vendor ends up carrying payroll and materials for weeks.
For illustration: a machine shop taking a larger order
A Fremont machine shop is offered a production run of fixtures for a local manufacturer. The order needs $40,000 of aluminum and tooling up front, plus overtime, and the customer pays 60 days after delivery. If the shop skips the order, the relationship may go to a competitor. If it takes the order without cash, it may miss rent. A business loan sized to the materials and labor carries the job until payment arrives. The numbers are illustrative only, not our terms or typical results.
