Sterile Packaging & Contract Sterilization Financing
Sterile packaging converters and contract sterilizers carry expensive validation, capital equipment, and regulatory overhead while billing device OEMs and hospitals on extended terms. Equipment financing for sterilizers and thermoformers, plus factoring and working capital against OEM receivables, keeps validated capacity running.
You're running Tyvek pouch lines or an EO, gamma, or e-beam sterilization chamber that took months of validation to qualify, and your device OEM customers pay you 45 to 60 days after you release the lot.
Every dollar tied up in dose mapping, biological indicators, and revalidation is a dollar not available for payroll or the next raw material buy, which is why factoring against OEM and hospital receivables makes sense here.
We connect you with lenders who understand ISO 11135 and ISO 11137 validation cycles, EtO emissions permitting, and why a contract sterilizer's equipment list looks nothing like a typical factory's.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Sterile Packaging & Contract Sterilization files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
ISO 13485 certification and current sterilization validation records
Lenders want confirmation of your quality system certification and current dose audit or biological indicator validation status for EO, gamma, or e-beam processes.
FDA establishment registration or device listing, if applicable
Contract sterilizers processing for registered device OEMs need to show their facility registration status is current and unencumbered by open warning letters.
Aged accounts receivable by device OEM and hospital customer
Receivables from established device manufacturers and health systems underwrite cleanly; startup device company concentration may reduce advance rate.
EtO emissions permit or environmental compliance status, if applicable
For EO sterilizers, underwriters want to know the facility's air permit and emissions monitoring status given the regulatory scrutiny EtO facilities have faced.
Trailing 12-month financials and revenue by sterilization modality
Interim P&L and balance sheet, plus a breakdown between EO, gamma, e-beam, and packaging-only revenue since equipment and margin profiles differ by modality.
Equipment quote or invoice for financing requests
Sterilization chambers, aeration rooms, dose-mapping equipment, form-fill-seal lines, pouch sealers, and cleanroom HVAC upgrades all finance with the asset as collateral.
