Wire & Cable Manufacturing Financing
Wire and cable manufacturers buy copper and aluminum conductor up front, run drawing and stranding, and wait 60–90 days for OEM, distributor, and utility buyers. Factoring against receivables, PO financing on metal, and equipment loans keep lines running.
You're buying copper and aluminum rod and cathode, running drawing, stranding, insulating, and jacketing lines, and shipping to OEMs, distributors, and utilities who pay 60–90 days later. Copper is the biggest swing in your cost stack and it's bought now.
Your OEM, distributor, and utility receivables are strong, slow credits. Factoring turns approved invoices into cash so the next rod buy and line changeover isn't gated by the last invoice outstanding.
We work with lenders who understand wire and cable throughput, copper exposure, and the difference between building, automotive, and utility product. We match your customer mix to factoring, PO financing on metal, and equipment financing for drawing and stranding.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Wire & Cable Manufacturing files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Top-customer / OEM list and aged AR
OEM, distributor, and utility concentration above ~40% may cap advance rate. Utility and telecom buyers underwrite tightly.
Copper / aluminum supplier and COMEX exposure (for PO financing)
PO financing pays your rod, cathode, and resin suppliers directly against a confirmed order. Metal hedging and COMEX detail are disclosed.
Trailing 12 months of financials and metal-cost exposure
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and copper/aluminum as % of COGS. Metal pass-through and price-escalation clauses in contracts help.
Equipment quote or invoice (for equipment financing)
Drawing, stranding, insulating, jacketing, and take-up lines finance cleanly — new and used — with 24–72 month terms.
Quality system status (ISO 9001 / UL listing)
ISO 9001 is baseline; UL listing is common for building wire. Open nonconformances require a response but rarely disqualify.
Inventory and finished-goods detail
Lenders check finished-goods turnover. Slow-moving custom cable inventory may be excluded from an ABL borrowing base.

Wire & Cable Manufacturing financing — FAQs
