HVAC & Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing · Sub-niche
Heat Pumps & Air-Handling Financing
Heat pump and air-handling manufacturers buy copper, steel, and components in volume, build to electrification-driven demand, and ship to distributors and OEMs on extended terms. Factoring and PO financing keep the lines running through payment gaps.
You're building heat pumps, air handlers, and duct for an electrification-driven market. Copper, sheet metal, compressors, and controls are bought in volume, and your distributor and OEM customers pay 45–90 days after shipment.
Heat-pump demand front-loads material and labor cost while receivables lag, and refrigerant and component lead times add pressure.
We match heat pump and air-handling manufacturers to factoring against distributor and OEM receivables, PO financing on component buys, and equipment loans for the next assembly line or forming line.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Heat Pumps & Air-Handling files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

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 heat pump, air-handler, and duct revenue.
Copper, steel, and component supplier list (for PO financing)
PO financing pays your copper, sheet metal, compressor, and control suppliers directly against confirmed orders.
Equipment invoice or quote (for equipment financing)
Assembly lines, forming lines, and test cells finance cleanly — new and used.
