Preferred Partner
Manufactor Finance x the American Manufacturing Association
We partner with the American Manufacturing Association because the manufacturers we serve deserve more than a funding referral. They deserve a community. This hub collects our co-published research, our press kit, and the exact terms of the partnership.
25% of every dollar we earn goes to AMFGA
Not 25% of profit. Not 25% in good years. 25% of every dollar Manufactor Finance earns, committed to the American Manufacturing Association to keep capital, training, and advocacy inside the US manufacturing community. The commitment comes out of what we earn. Nothing additional is required from our clients, and it never changes the terms a funding institution offers you.

This guide is educational information about US manufacturing funding programs. It is not an offer to lend, a commitment to fund, or a rate or term quote of any kind. All figures, ranges, program structures, and timelines are illustrative — actual terms, rates, fees, advance rates, and approval are set solely by the funding partner after underwriting your file. Downloading this guide, our Funding Requirements Checklist, or any other free tool or educational resource from Manufactor Finance does not create a brokerage, advisory, agency, or fiduciary relationship between you and Manufactor Finance. An engagement begins only if and when Manufactor Finance and you mutually agree to work together in writing after a live conversation.
