HVAC & Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing · Sub-niche
Residential HVAC Financing
Residential HVAC manufacturers buy copper, steel, and components in volume, build to seasonal demand, and ship to distributors and big-box customers on extended terms. Factoring and PO financing keep the assembly lines running through payment gaps.
You're building residential air conditioners, furnaces, and mini-splits against a seasonal calendar. Copper, sheet metal, compressors, and controls are bought in volume, and your distributor and big-box customers pay 45–90 days after shipment.
Summer and winter demand peaks front huge material and labor cost while the receivables lag into the next quarter, and one large distributor can dominate your book.
We match residential HVAC manufacturers to factoring against distributor receivables, PO financing on component buys, and equipment loans for the next assembly line or brazing station.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Residential HVAC files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Active business and any required certifications
AHRI certification and UL listing where applicable. Certification status alone doesn't disqualify.
Aged accounts receivable and top-10 customer list
Distributor and big-box concentration above ~40% may shape the reserve. Seasonal DSO spikes are expected.
Trailing 12 months of financials
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of AC, furnace, and mini-split 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, brazing stations, and test cells finance cleanly — new and used.
