A C2FO Case Study
Starport Foods, a food-service manufacturer of ready-to-use Asian and fusion sauces and private‑label “secret sauces,” struggled with working capital because small-batch production and the desire to keep inventory fresh left large amounts of cash tied up in raw materials. To solve this cash‑flow squeeze the company turned to C2FO’s early‑payment marketplace, signing up as a Sysco vendor in 2013 to access faster payment offers.
Using C2FO’s platform (with daily program frequency), Starport accelerated receivables to increase operating cash, which enabled promotion, market expansion and the ability to anticipate flavor trends; co‑owner Cheryl Tsang reports the rates and support through C2FO have worked well and that the service is far preferable to factoring.
