Asset-Based Lending (ABL) for Industrial Machinery & Equipment shops
Borrow against what you already own. We match industrial machinery & equipment manufacturers with the asset-based lending (abl) structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, no application, origination, or closing fees to you.
Why industrial machinery & equipment shops choose asset-based lending (abl)
You quote a six- or nine-month build, take a deposit, and immediately start writing checks — steel, castings, servo motors, PLCs, hydraulics, machined parts from the vendor across town. Progress payments help, but they never quite line up with when your suppliers want to be paid.
Then the machine ships, runs FAT, and your customer still holds retainage for another 30–60 days after acceptance. Meanwhile the next unit is already on the floor and you're doing it all again.
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Revolving lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.
What industrial machinery & equipment shops get
- Line scales with your business
- Often more flexible than traditional bank debt
- Rates typically lower than factoring for the right profile
How it works
- 1The lender evaluates the value of your eligible collateral (AR, inventory, equipment).
- 2A borrowing base formula determines your available line.
- 3You draw and repay as needed, with monthly reporting.
Cash-flow realities we see in industrial machinery & equipment
- Long build cycles between deposit and final payment
- Milestone and progress billing that lags supplier terms
- Retainage held 30–60+ days after acceptance and FAT
- Large sub-assembly and long-lead component POs (motors, drives, castings, controls)
- Own-shop capex — CNC, waterjet, welding, paint booth — to keep up with backlog

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — asset-based lending (abl) is one of the programs we most commonly place for industrial machinery & equipment shops. Established manufacturers with meaningful receivables, inventory, and/or equipment who want a flexible revolving line. Full mechanics: the Asset-Based Lending (ABL) program page. Sector overview: Industrial Machinery & Equipment.
It depends on the program. Factoring often funds within days of account setup; equipment and working capital usually run days to a couple of weeks; SBA and larger term loans take longer. We tell you the real timeline up front.
No. We are an independent business financing referral service and are not paid by you. Our funding partners compensate us only after a referred manufacturer actually receives their funds.
No. Every program we refer is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.
Yes. Progress and milestone invoices factor well when the billing terms are clearly documented in the PO or contract. Factors experienced in capital equipment expect milestone billing and structure advances around it.
Retainage — commonly 5–10% held until acceptance — is typically excluded from the factored advance and released once the customer pays. It's a normal structure and doesn't kill the deal.
ABL is a revolving line you draw against; factoring is the outright sale of specific invoices. ABL usually has lower cost of capital but stricter eligibility and monthly reporting requirements.
