You're a metal fabrication shop in Fond du Lac, WI — one of the strongest metal fabrication markets in the Great Lakes.

Metal Fabrication in Fond du Lac — FAQs
Yes: metal fabrication is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Fond du Lac market. We already know how Mercury Marine, Grande Cheese, and Michels Corporation pay, what documentation underwriters ask for, and which US funding partners underwrite metal fabrication without pushing back on Great Lakes concentration.
For metal fabrication in Fond du Lac, 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 castings, machining WIP, and seasonal finished goods on the production side. From there, an equipment or working-capital line is a common second step as the shop scales. Compare the full stack on the Fond du Lac programs page.
Directional estimates, not quotes or guarantees: factoring typically takes 3 to 10 days to fund, and equipment financing takes 5 to 15 business days. Funding timing depends on the independent funding partner. 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 Fond du Lac because it's an active Great Lakes market for metal fabrication, but we also serve metal fabrication shops elsewhere in Wisconsin and other eligible states. See the Fond du Lac manufacturing funding page for the full local picture. Programs, partners, and processes vary by state, and we do not serve North Dakota.
