Programs available to Salt Lake City manufacturers
See all programs for Salt Lake City →Invoice Factoring in Salt Lake City, UT
Most Salt Lake City medical device manufacturing shops we place into factoring are waiting 30–90 days on Mountain West 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
- Selling on net terms to creditworthy commercial or government customers (common across medical device manufacturing and aerospace & defense manufacturing in UT).
- At least a few months of invoicing history — personal credit and time in business matter less than your buyers' credit.
- No conflicting UCC-1 filing on your receivables (we help review this before you sign anything).
Equipment Financing in Salt Lake City, UT
Salt Lake City 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
- A medical device manufacturing-relevant piece of equipment identified (quote, invoice, or listing).
- Typically 1+ year in business in UT; startup and challenged-credit programs exist with a larger down payment.
- Down payment often 0–20% depending on equipment type, age, and your profile.
Purchase Order Financing in Salt Lake City, UT
When a Salt Lake City manufacturer lands a purchase order that's bigger than current cash on hand — a new Mountain West 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
- A confirmed PO from a creditworthy end buyer (common with medical device manufacturing and aerospace & defense manufacturing customers).
- Gross margin typically 20%+ so the deal supports supplier costs and financing.
- A finished-goods or light-assembly production model — pure raw-material speculation usually doesn't qualify.
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) in Salt Lake City, UT
Established Salt Lake City 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
- Typically $5M+ in annual revenue and clean financials (many UT medical device manufacturing shops fit this profile at scale).
- Receivables, inventory, and/or M&E to borrow against; regular borrowing-base reporting.
- Audited or reviewed financials help — we'll tell you upfront if a file needs cleanup first.
Working Capital in Salt Lake City, UT
Short-term working capital fills a specific gap for Salt Lake City 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
- At least 6–12 months in business with consistent revenue deposits from Mountain West customers.
- Roughly $15K+ average monthly revenue; higher amounts unlock better structures.
- No open bankruptcy; recent tax liens or judgments discussed openly upfront so we place you correctly.
SBA & Term Loans in Salt Lake City, UT
SBA & Term Loans in Salt Lake City, UT follows the same consultative process — we listen first, tell you what actually fits, and place your file with the right funding partner.
