CNC Job Shops Financing
CNC job shops buy bar stock, tooling, and inserts for every new work order, run parts for OEM and tier-supplier customers, and wait 45–90 days for payment. Factoring and PO financing keep the spindles turning through the gap.
You're running CNC mills, lathes, and grinders against OEM and tier-supplier work orders. Every new PO is a material and tooling buy before the first chip flies, and your biggest customers are often the slowest payers.
One aerospace, medical, or automotive prime can dominate your book for a quarter, and the gap between your tooling spend and the customer's check is the whole cash game.
Our team looks for a funding partner that fits CNC job shops. General information on common options includes factoring against OEM receivables, PO financing on material and tooling buys, and equipment loans for the next mill, lathe, or 5-axis center.

What underwriters will actually ask for
CNC Job Shops files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Active business and any required certifications
AS9100, ISO 9001, or IATF 16949 where applicable. Certification status alone doesn't disqualify — underwriting focuses on customer credit and billing quality.
Aged accounts receivable and top-10 customer list
OEM and tier-supplier concentration above ~40% may shape the reserve. Milestone and retainage lines are noted separately.
Trailing 12 months of financials
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of aerospace, medical, automotive, and general-industrial revenue.
Bar stock, casting, and tooling supplier list (for PO financing)
PO financing pays your material and tooling suppliers directly against confirmed work orders.
Equipment invoice or quote (for equipment financing)
Mills, lathes, grinders, 5-axis centers, and tooling finance cleanly — new and used.
Programs cnc job shops operators actually use
Ranked by how often they're the right fit for this sub-niche, with the reason each one works written for cnc job shops specifically. Your actual match depends on buyers, margins, and the working capital problem you're solving.
Program
Invoice Factoring
Why it fits here: Invoices to OEMs and primes factor on the customer's credit, not yours. Net-45 to net-90 OEM terms stop capping how much work you can quote.

Program
Purchase Order Financing
Why it fits here: Covers material buys on a confirmed production order. Lets a shop accept a program larger than its cash position without turning down the work.

Program
Equipment Financing
Why it fits here: Machining centers, lathes, and inspection equipment finance new or used. The next spindle rides on the machine, not the operating account.

CNC Job Shops financing — FAQs
Yes. Advance rates depend on your customer's credit, not your shop size. A 10-spindle shop invoicing a tier supplier typically factors as cleanly as a large machining center.
Yes. Primes on net-60 to net-90 are common factoring customers — the factor underwrites the prime's credit and structures the advance around their payment cycle.
Yes. PO financing pays your material and tooling suppliers directly against a confirmed work order so you can run the job without draining cash.
Yes. New and used CNC equipment finance routinely with 24–72 month terms and proper appraisal. Haas, Mazak, Okuma, DMG Mori, and Brother are all bread-and-butter.
No. We are an independent business financing referral service and are not paid by 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.
