Aerospace MRO & Spare Parts Financing
Aerospace MRO shops and spare parts suppliers carry AS9100 and FAA repair station overhead while billing airlines, OEMs, and other MROs on extended payment terms after sourcing hard-to-find parts and repair capacity. PO financing for parts sourcing, factoring against airline and OEM receivables, and equipment financing for repair station tooling keep turnaround times competitive.
You're running an FAA-certificated repair station or sourcing rotable and expendable parts for airlines and OEMs who expect fast turnaround but pay on 45- to 90-day terms once the part or repair is delivered.
Finding and buying a hard-to-source part before you have cash from the last job is the normal state of business in this industry, which is exactly what PO financing against a confirmed order is built to solve.
We work with lenders who understand FAA Part 145 repair station requirements, AS9100 quality systems, and why an airline or OEM receivable is solid credit even when the part itself took weeks to track down.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Aerospace MRO & Spare Parts files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
FAA Part 145 repair station certificate and ratings
Underwriters want your current repair station certificate, capability list, and confirmation there are no open FAA enforcement actions against the certificate.
AS9100 or AS9110 certification status
Current quality system certification specific to aerospace repair and distribution supports both customer contracts and lender confidence in your operation.
Aged accounts receivable by airline, OEM, and MRO customer
Receivables from major airlines and OEMs underwrite cleanly given strong commercial credit; smaller regional carrier receivables are reviewed individually.
Parts traceability and supplier certification documentation
For PO financing on parts sourcing, lenders want supplier traceability documentation and 8130-3 or equivalent airworthiness certification tied to each part.
Trailing 12-month financials and revenue by repair category
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown between component repair, rotable exchange, and parts distribution revenue, since margins and cycle time differ.
Equipment quote or invoice for financing requests
Test benches, NDT equipment, calibration systems, and specialized repair tooling all finance as collateral, with used aerospace-grade equipment eligible with appraisal.
