Directional estimates, not quotes or guarantees: factoring typically takes 3 to 10 days to fund, and equipment financing takes 5 to 15 business days.

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.
