You're a metal fabrication shop in St. Cloud, MN — one of the strongest metal fabrication markets in the Upper Midwest.
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 St. Cloud — FAQs
Yes: metal fabrication is one of the sectors we actively refer in the St. Cloud market. We already know how Electrolux suppliers, New Flyer, and Coldspring pay, what documentation underwriters ask for, and which US funding partners underwrite metal fabrication without pushing back on Upper Midwest concentration.
For metal fabrication in St. Cloud, the first look is usually invoice factoring against your commercial AR: that's what most directly closes the gap between net-30 to net-75 on the receivables side and steel, stone inventory, and project-cycle WIP 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 St. Cloud 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 St. Cloud because it's an active Upper Midwest market for metal fabrication, but we also serve metal fabrication shops elsewhere in Minnesota and other eligible states. See the St. Cloud manufacturing funding page for the full local picture. Programs, partners, and processes vary by state, and we do not serve North Dakota.
