Drywall & Gypsum Financing

Drywall and gypsum manufacturers run energy-intensive calciners and board lines, buy gypsum and paper in volume, and ship to distributors and big-box retailers on extended terms. Factoring and PO financing keep the line running through payment gaps.

You're making wallboard and gypsum products against the housing cycle. Gypsum, paper, and additives are bought in volume, and the calciner doesn't cheaply idle — your distributor and big-box customers pay 45–90 days after shipment.

Big-box and pro-dealer concentration is real, and one large account can be 30–40% of your volume while receivables lag into the next quarter.

We match drywall and gypsum manufacturers to factoring against distributor and retailer receivables, PO financing on raw material buys, and equipment loans for the next calciner, board line, or kiln.

What underwriters will actually ask for

Drywall & Gypsum files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

  • Active business registration

    Standard business registration for the customers in your AR aging.

  • Aged accounts receivable and top-10 customer list

    Distributor and big-box concentration above ~40% may shape the reserve. Seasonal DSO spikes are expected.

  • Trailing 12 months of financials

    Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of standard, moisture-resistant, and specialty board revenue.

  • Gypsum, paper, and additive supplier list (for PO financing)

    PO financing pays your gypsum, paper, and additive suppliers directly against confirmed orders.

  • Equipment invoice or quote (for equipment financing)

    Calciners, board lines, kilns, and material handling finance cleanly — new and used.
