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.

Who we are. Manufactor Finance is an independent business financing referral service. We are not a bank, lender, direct funder, private equity firm, or investor, and we do not make credit decisions, quote rates or terms, negotiate on your behalf, or fund transactions. All rates, terms, and approval decisions are made solely by the funding institution. We charge you no application, origination, arrangement, or advance fees. In most states, funding partners pay us a referral fee when a referred account funds or activates; in California and Missouri we are instead paid a fixed fee per inquiry, whether or not you are funded, which is a sale or sharing of personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act and comparable state laws. See the Do Not Sell or Share link on our site to opt out. We never share your mobile number or text-message consent with anyone for their own marketing. We may advertise on third-party platforms; we do not own those platforms and they do not own us. Nothing on this site or in this message is a commitment to lend or an offer of credit. Some calls, text messages, and chats are answered by Mary, our AI assistant, who answers general questions as best she can and takes your details for funding partner matching. Her answers can be wrong, and she does not book appointments or callbacks. Calls and chats may be recorded and transcribed for quality, compliance, and follow-up. Information shared through any channel, including phone, chat, SMS, email, and web forms, may be shared with our vetted funding partners, one or more of whom may contact you. Email us if you prefer not to interact with an AI.
Compensation. Manufactor Finance does not charge application, origination, arrangement, referral service, or advance fees to prospective borrowers. Our funding partners pay us a referral fee when a referred account funds or activates, and nothing additional is required from you. Manufactor Finance refers each inquiry to our funding partners covering multiple product structures, and each partner presents its own offer, rate, term, and disclosures directly to you.
Advertising. Manufactor Finance may advertise its services on third-party platforms, including search engines, social networks, industry directories, and other publishers. We do not own those platforms and they do not own us. Any references to third-party company names, trademarks, or logos are for identification purposes only and do not imply endorsement, affiliation, or partnership unless expressly stated in writing on this site.
Grants. Manufactor Finance does not help with grants, grant writing, or grant applications.
