You're a metal fabrication shop in Richmond, KY — one of the strongest metal fabrication markets in the South.

Metal Fabrication in Richmond — FAQs
Yes — metal fabrication is one of the sectors we actively refer in the Richmond market. We already know how Sherwin-Williams Richmond, Hitachi Astemo, and EnerSys pay, what documentation underwriters ask for, and which US funding partners underwrite metal fabrication without pushing back on South concentration.
For metal fabrication in Richmond, 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 resin, coil steel, and sequencing inventory 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 Richmond 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.
