PCB Assembly & CEMs Financing
Contract electronics manufacturers and PCB assemblers front component, stencil, and labor cost and wait 60–90 days for OEM payment. Factoring against OEM receivables and PO financing on long-lead components keep the SMT line running.
You're placing components on boards, building for an OEM's brand, buying long-lead semiconductors, passives, and substrates, and shipping to OEMs and brand owners who pay 60–90 days later. Component lead times and allocations eat cash before the first invoice lands.
Your OEM receivables are strong, slow credits. Factoring turns approved invoices into cash so the next component allocation and SMT changeover isn't gated by the last invoice outstanding. PO financing handles long-lead component buys directly.
We work with lenders who understand CEM and PCB assembly, component allocation, consigned inventory, and the difference between build-to-print and design-in work. We match your OEM mix to factoring and PO financing on components.

What underwriters will actually ask for
PCB Assembly & CEMs files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Top-customer / OEM list and aged AR
OEM and brand-owner concentration above ~40% may cap advance rate. Tier-1 electronics and medical OEMs underwrite tightly.
Component supplier and allocation detail (for PO financing)
PO financing pays your semiconductor, passive, and substrate distributors directly against a confirmed OEM PO. Long-lead and allocated parts need supplier detail up front.
Consigned vs owned inventory documentation
Lenders confirm whether components and finished goods are consigned by the OEM or owned. Consigned inventory is generally excluded from the borrowing base.
Trailing 12 months of financials and BOM exposure
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and semiconductor as % of COGS. Long-lead component exposure and allocation risk are disclosed.
Equipment quote or invoice (for equipment financing)
SMT lines, pick-and-place, AOI, X-ray, reflow, and test cells finance cleanly — new and used — with 24–72 month terms.
Quality system status (ISO 9001 / IATF / ISO 13485)
IATF 16949 helps on automotive electronics; ISO 13485 on medical; ISO 9001 is baseline. Open nonconformances require a response but rarely disqualify.
