ITAR-Controlled Machining Financing
ITAR-controlled machine shops carry defense-program lead times, long-lead material, and 60–120 day DLA and prime payments. Factoring against government and prime receivables and equipment financing for CNC capacity keep defense production on schedule.
You're ITAR-registered, machining flight-critical and defense components to AS9100 standards, buying long-lead material, and waiting 60, 90, even 120 days for a DLA, prime, or Tier-1 defense buyer to pay. Program schedules slip; your cash still has to land on time.
Your defense receivables are some of the strongest credits in manufacturing — the US government and its primes pay slowly but they pay. Factoring turns those approved invoices into cash within days.
We work with lenders set up for ITAR compliance, controlled technical data, and US-citizenship handling. We match your program mix to factoring and equipment financing for the next 5-axis CNC or inspection cell.

What underwriters will actually ask for
ITAR-Controlled Machining files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
ITAR / USML registration and DDTC compliance status
Underwriters confirm your ITAR registration is current and that controlled technical data is handled by US persons. Lapses require a remediation plan.
AS9100 quality system status
AS9100 certification is expected for prime and Tier-1 defense work. Open major nonconformances require a written response but rarely disqualify.
Aged AR by prime / DLA and top-customer list
Government and prime concentration is normal. DLA and DoD receivables underwrite tightly; assignment-of-claims detail matters.
Trailing 12 months of financials and program backlog
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and program backlog with long-lead material exposure. Progress payments and PBL revenue are treated separately.
Equipment quote or invoice (for equipment financing)
5-axis CNC, Swiss, grinders, CMMs, and inspection cells finance cleanly — new and used — with 24–72 month terms.
CAGE code and contract / PO detail
Lenders read the contract for progress-payment terms, assignment of claims, and flow-down language before structuring advances.
