You're a metal fabrication shop in Charlottesville, VA — one of the strongest metal fabrication markets in the Mid-Atlantic.
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.

Metal Fabrication in Charlottesville — FAQs
Yes — metal fabrication is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Charlottesville market. We already know how UVA research partners, Northrop Grumman Charlottesville, and regional biotech startups pay, what documentation underwriters ask for, and which US funding partners underwrite metal fabrication without pushing back on Mid-Atlantic concentration.
For metal fabrication in Charlottesville, the first look is usually invoice factoring against your commercial AR — that's what most directly closes the gap between net-60 to net-90 on the receivables side and prototype tooling, certified components, and pilot runs on the production side. From there, an equipment or working-capital line as the shop grows is a common second step as the shop scales. Compare the full stack on the Charlottesville programs page.
Realistically, factoring is typically 7–14 business days to first funding, then 24–48 hours per invoice; equipment financing adds 5–15 business days when it makes sense. That's the "actually receive money in your operating account" timeline, not the "signed a term sheet" one.
