Manufacturing financing for every stage of production
From the purchase order to the final invoice, match each cash need to funding built for it.
| Your goal | Best-fit funding | What you gain |
|---|---|---|
| Add CNC machines, lines or automation | Equipment financing | Spread the cost over the machine's useful life; it typically secures the deal |
| Buy raw materials for a large order | Business line of credit | Draw for materials and labor, repay as the order ships and pays |
| Get paid on shipped orders now | Invoice factoring | Turn net-30 to net-90 invoices into working cash |
| Expand capacity or add a shift | Term loan or SBA 7(a) loan | Growth capital with predictable payments |
| Buy or expand your plant | Commercial real estate loan or SBA 504 | Long terms for facilities |

Manufacturers are investing. Capacity wins contracts.
Capital spending is picking up, and the competitive edge is capacity: when a large order lands, the shop that can buy materials and run extra shifts without waiting on cash takes the contract.
The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate a quarter point on September 16, 2026, to a 3.75%–4.00% range, and the bank prime rate, which many variable-rate business lines of credit track, stands at 7.00%. Locking a fixed equipment payment now protects your margins if borrowing costs keep moving.
What funding providers look for in a manufacturer
Equipment-heavy businesses have more to work with. Put it to work:
Time in business
Operating history and a record of delivering on orders.
Revenue & order book
Current orders and the strength of your customer relationships.
Equipment value
The age, condition and resale value of machinery, which can secure the deal.
Credit & obligations
Personal and business credit plus existing equipment payments.
