Commercial Refrigeration Financing

Commercial refrigeration manufacturers buy copper, steel, and refrigerant components in volume, build to foodservice and cold-storage demand, and ship to distributors and OEMs on extended terms. Factoring and PO financing keep the lines running through payment gaps.

You're building commercial refrigeration — reach-ins, walk-ins, condensing units, and cold-storage systems — for foodservice and cold-chain customers. Copper, steel, and refrigerant components are bought in volume, and the customer pays 45–90 days after shipment.

Foodservice and cold-storage demand front material and labor cost while receivables lag, and one distributor or OEM can dominate your book.

We match commercial refrigeration manufacturers to factoring against distributor and OEM receivables, PO financing on component buys, and equipment loans for the next assembly line or test cell.

What underwriters will actually ask for

Commercial Refrigeration files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

  • Active business and any required certifications

    UL, NSF, or AHRI certification where applicable. Certification status alone doesn't disqualify.

  • Aged accounts receivable and top-10 customer list

    Distributor and OEM concentration above ~40% may shape the reserve, not disqualify.

  • Trailing 12 months of financials

    Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of reach-in, walk-in, condensing unit, and cold-storage revenue.

  • Copper, steel, and refrigerant component supplier list (for PO financing)

    PO financing pays your copper, steel, and component suppliers directly against confirmed orders.

  • Equipment invoice or quote (for equipment financing)

    Assembly lines, brazing stations, and test cells finance cleanly — new and used.
