Injection Molding & Tooling Financing

Injection molders front resin, tooling, and cycle costs, then wait 60–90 days for OEM and brand-owner customers. Factoring against OEM receivables, PO financing on resin, and equipment loans for the next press keep the cells running.

You're buying resin by the truckload, paying for tools and maintenance, running cells around the clock, and shipping to OEMs, brand owners, and distributors who think net-60 is fast. Resin prices swing quote-to-quote; the cash comes back on someone else's schedule.

Your receivables are bankable — they're just slow. Factoring turns approved OEM invoices into cash within days, and equipment financing puts the next press, robot, or chiller on the floor without draining cash.

We work with lenders who understand injection molding, tooling ownership, cycle economics, and resin volatility. We match your customer mix to factoring, PO financing on resin buys, and equipment financing for presses and automation.

What underwriters will actually ask for

Injection Molding & Tooling files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

  • Top-customer / OEM list and aged AR

    OEM and brand-owner concentration above ~40% may cap advance rate. Tier-1 automotive and medical buyers underwrite tightly.

  • Tooling ownership documentation

    Underwriters confirm whether you or the customer own the molds. Customer-owned tooling affects collateral treatment.

  • Resin supplier list (for PO financing)

    PO financing pays your resin, colorant, and packaging suppliers directly. We need PO copies and supplier bank details up front.

  • Trailing 12 months of financials and resin-cost exposure

    Interim P&L, balance sheet, and resin as % of COGS. Resin price-escalation clauses in customer contracts help.

  • Equipment quote or invoice (for equipment financing)

    New and used presses, robots, dryers, chillers, hot runners, and mold builds finance cleanly with 24–72 month terms.

  • Quality system status (ISO 9001 / IATF / ISO 13485)

    IATF 16949 helps on automotive; ISO 13485 on medical; ISO 9001 is baseline. Open nonconformances require a response but rarely disqualify.
