Yes: foundry, castings & primary metals is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Charleston market.

For foundry, castings & primary metals in Charleston, the first look is usually purchase order financing paired with invoice factoring: that's what most directly closes the gap between net-45 to net-90 on the receivables side and PPAP tooling, exotic alloy, precision fixtures, and long-lead component spend on the production side. From there, an equipment line as the shop scales into the next contract is a common second step as the shop scales. Compare the full stack on the Charleston programs page.
Realistically, PO financing typically funds in 2–4 weeks once supplier terms are confirmed; factoring on the resulting invoices sets up in 7–14 business days and then funds 24–48 hours per invoice after that. That's the "actually receive money in your operating account" timeline, not the "signed a term sheet" one.
