Invoice Factoring in Boston, MA
Most Boston medical device manufacturing shops we refer into factoring are waiting 30–90 days on Northeast distributors, big-box buyers, or government contracts. Factoring turns those invoices into cash within days so payroll and material buys don't stall between deposits.
Who typically qualifies
Equipment Financing in Boston, MA
Boston shops adding CNC capacity, robotics, tooling, or production vehicles use equipment financing to keep cash on hand for materials and labor. New or used, vendor or private-party — the equipment itself carries most of the underwriting weight.
Who typically qualifies
Purchase Order Financing in Boston, MA
When a Boston manufacturer lands a purchase order that's bigger than current cash on hand — a new Northeast retailer, a defense sub-tier award, an export contract — PO financing pays your suppliers so you can actually deliver, then unwinds when your customer pays.
Who typically qualifies
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) in Boston, MA
Established Boston manufacturers with steady A/R, inventory, and equipment on the books use ABL as a revolving line of credit that scales with the business. Lower cost of capital than factoring, with monthly reporting instead of invoice-by-invoice.
Who typically qualifies
Working Capital in Boston, MA
Short-term working capital fills a specific gap for Boston shops — a materials run before a big delivery, a payroll bridge between customer payments, a repair that can't wait. Structured as a term advance repaid from daily or weekly deposits.
Who typically qualifies
SBA & Term Loans in Boston, MA
SBA & Term Loans in Boston, MA follows the same process. We listen first, tell you what actually fits, and refer your inquiry to the right funding partners.
Who typically qualifies
Every program below is placed through funding partners we work with, mapped to the industries and payment cycles common in the Boston market. Ranges are directional: your actual offer depends on your customers, credit, revenue, and industry.
Invoices to med-device and biotech OEMs and hospital systems here typically settle on net-60 to net-120 on hospital and GPO channels. A factoring line turns those receivables into cash at an 80–95% advance, usually about 1–3.5% per 30 days, and the line grows with sales instead of collateral history.
Common here
A PO from med-device and biotech OEMs and hospital systems lands that is bigger than the cash on hand. PO financing funds cleanroom capex and production behind that confirmed order, typically 2–6% per 30 days, and settles when the buyer pays.
Common here
Winning work from med-device and biotech OEMs and hospital systems usually means capacity first: the CNC, press brake, or packaging line has to run before the first invoice exists. Equipment financing covers up to 100% of the asset cost, with payments spread over 24–84 months.
Common here
For larger Medical Device Manufacturing operations here, an ABL revolver scales with the balance sheet: receivables from med-device and biotech OEMs and hospital systems, inventory, and equipment all count toward the borrowing base, so the line grows as orders grow.
Common here
For the short gaps, cleanroom capex ahead of a ramp, or a payroll catch-up while net-60 to net-120 on hospital and GPO channels receivables settle, working capital runs $25K–$5M and typically funds in 2–7 business days.
Working Capital in Boston, MABoston owners planning an expansion, an acquisition, or a real estate buy usually find the lowest cost of capital in SBA or term structures: up to $5M, roughly Prime + 2.75–4.75%, and the documentation to match.

The mechanics behind each program: real cost ranges, realistic timelines, and who typically qualifies.
The core qualification check is the same one we run nationwide, and most Boston-area medical device manufacturing and electronics and electrical shops already match the profile funders want: commercial or government buyers paying on terms. Here is the 10-second version:
Usually, yes. For the industry mix we see in Boston, the first look is typically purchase order financing paired with invoice factoring, and programs like these weigh your customers' payment history and your equipment far more than your personal credit score. Banks in Massachusetts decline files for concentration, collateral, and seasoning reasons that non-bank funders price differently, so a decline is a data point, not a verdict.
Boston's med-tech, biotech, and defense electronics base runs on the longest qualification and payment cycles in US manufacturing. Financing here is a strategic tool, not a fallback. That's why the funding conversation for a Boston-area shop rarely starts with "do I qualify" — it usually starts with matching the right structure to how your specific buyers pay and how your production cycle burns cash.
Given the mix of medical device manufacturing and electronics and electrical we see in the Boston area, the first look for most shops is purchase order financing paired with invoice factoring, with an equipment line as the shop scales into the next contract layered in as the shop grows. We'll tell you honestly which one fits before you fill out anything long. Compare all 6 side by side on the Boston programs page.
Most Boston-area shops we refer are selling into med-device and biotech OEMs, hospital systems, defense primes. Those receivables are typically on net-60 to net-120 on hospital and GPO channels, and the working-capital pinch usually comes from cleanroom capex, FDA validation, hospital billing cycles. Every one of those pieces is something factoring, PO financing, and equipment lines are built to solve.
For your program mix, PO financing typically funds in 2–4 weeks once supplier terms are confirmed; factoring on the resulting invoices sets up in 7–14 business days and then funds 24–48 hours per invoice after that. The gate is almost always document turnaround on your side, not underwriting. A clean AR aging, three months of business bank statements, and a customer list is usually enough for us to refer your file.
Massachusetts has a dense med-device, biotech, and specialty-manufacturing base; MassDevelopment can pair with SBA 504 for real-estate expansions, and lenders here are comfortable with FDA-cycle receivables.
Locally, the growth story is biotech expansion, med-device reshoring, defense electronics. That matters for funding because underwriters read your file against the local narrative — a Boston shop tied into that growth is a lender-friendly story, and it usually helps us get to a better program fit faster.
