You're a metal fabrication shop in Boston, MA — one of the strongest metal fabrication markets in the Northeast.
You bought the steel in cash. You paid the welders on Friday. You cut, formed, welded, and shipped it. And now you're staring at a net-60 invoice from a GC or a Tier-1 that won't hit your account until August.
Locally, that plays out against med-device and biotech OEMs, hospital systems, defense primes and terms of net-60 to net-120 on hospital and GPO channels. We already know the funding partners active in this sector and this metro — the referral is faster because we're not starting cold.

Metal Fabrication in Boston — FAQs
Yes: metal fabrication is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Boston market. We already know how med-device and biotech OEMs, hospital systems, defense primes pay, what documentation underwriters ask for, and which US funding partners underwrite metal fabrication without pushing back on Northeast concentration.
For metal fabrication in Boston, the first look is usually purchase order financing paired with invoice factoring: that's what most directly closes the gap between net-60 to net-120 on hospital and GPO channels on the receivables side and cleanroom capex, FDA validation, hospital billing cycles on the production side. From there, an equipment line as the shop scales into the next contract is a common second step as the shop scales. Compare the full stack on the Boston programs page.
Realistically, PO financing typically funds in 2–4 weeks once supplier terms are confirmed; factoring on the resulting invoices sets up in 7–14 business days and then funds 24–48 hours per invoice after that. 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.
No. This page focuses on Boston because it's an active Northeast market for metal fabrication, but we also serve metal fabrication shops elsewhere in Massachusetts and other eligible states.
