Foundry, Castings & Primary Metals in Detroit — FAQs
Yes: foundry, castings & primary metals is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Detroit market.

For foundry, castings & primary metals in Detroit, the first look is usually invoice factoring against your commercial AR: that's what most directly closes the gap between net-60 to net-90, with tooling paid over program life on the receivables side and PPAP, tooling, capacity ramps, and long qualification cycles on the production side. From there, an equipment or working-capital line is a common second step as the shop scales. Compare the full stack on the Detroit programs page.
Directional estimates, not quotes or guarantees: factoring typically takes 3 to 10 days to fund, and equipment financing takes 5 to 15 business days. Funding timing depends on the independent funding partner. That's the "actually receive money in your operating account" timeline, not the "signed a term sheet" one.
No. Manufactor Finance is an independent business financing referral service: there are no application, origination, or closing fees to you. In most states, funding partners pay us when an account funds or activates; in California and Missouri they instead pay a fixed fee per inquiry, whether or not you are funded. Either way, you pay us nothing.
