You're a metal fabrication shop in Chattanooga, TN — one of the strongest metal fabrication markets in the Southeast.
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 Chattanooga — FAQs
Yes — metal fabrication is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Chattanooga market. We already know how Volkswagen, Wacker Chemie, Gestamp, Yorozu, La-Z-Boy pay, what documentation underwriters ask for, and which US funding partners underwrite metal fabrication without pushing back on Southeast concentration.
For metal fabrication in Chattanooga, the first look is usually invoice factoring against your commercial AR — that's what most directly closes the gap between net-45 to net-75 on the receivables side and press tooling amortization, resin and steel buys, EV battery certification 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 Chattanooga 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.
