Is asset-based lending (abl) a good fit for medical device manufacturing?

Yes — asset-based lending (abl) is one of the programs we most commonly place for medical device manufacturing shops. Established manufacturers with meaningful receivables, inventory, and/or equipment who want a flexible revolving line.

How fast can a medical device manufacturing shop get funded?

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.

Do you charge medical device manufacturing manufacturers any fees?

No. We are a business consulting service and are not paid by you. Our funding partners compensate us only after a referred manufacturer actually receives their funds.

Do I have to give up equity?

No. Every program we place is non-dilutive. You keep 100% ownership of your shop.

Can we factor invoices to hospitals and GPOs?

Yes. Hospital, IDN, and GPO receivables are commonly factored. Because these buyers routinely stretch to 60, 90, even 120 days, factoring is one of the strongest fits in medical device manufacturing.

Do factoring companies work with FDA Class II and Class III device makers?

Yes. Regulatory class doesn't disqualify you — invoice quality, buyer credit, and clean documentation matter more. Partners familiar with 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems make onboarding smoother.

How is ABL different from factoring?

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.

Why medical device manufacturing shops choose asset-based lending (abl)

You spent years and serious money getting a device to market — cleanroom buildout, validation, 510(k) or PMA work, ISO 13485 quality system, the whole stack. Then the invoices go out to hospitals, IDNs, GPOs, and distributors, and the cash comes back in… eventually.

That's the disconnect we solve. Your receivables are strong, your buyers are AAA-credit institutions, and your working capital is still tight because everything pays slowly.

Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Revolving lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.

What medical device manufacturing shops get

How it works

1The lender evaluates the value of your eligible collateral (AR, inventory, equipment).
2A borrowing base formula determines your available line.

Cash-flow realities we see in medical device manufacturing

Hospitals, health systems, IDNs, and GPOs on 60–120 day terms
Long validation, qualification, and 510(k) timelines that eat cash before revenue
Cleanroom, tooling, inspection, and sterilization equipment costs
ISO 13485 / 21 CFR Part 820 quality-system investment and audit cycles
Distributor consignment and stocking arrangements that delay revenue recognition
