Asset-Based Lending (ABL) · Plastics & Injection Molding
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) for Plastics & Injection Molding shops
Borrow against what you already own. We match plastics & injection molding 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 plastics & injection molding shops choose asset-based lending (abl)
Resin moved again. Your OEM customer just extended terms from net-30 to net-60. And that new automotive or medical program needs a $180K mold before you ever ship a part.
Sound familiar? Plastics is a cash-hungry business — tooling up front, resin priced by the truckload, presses that run 24/7 whether the AP is caught up or not.
Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Revolving lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.
What plastics & injection molding shops get
- Line scales with your business
- Often more flexible than traditional bank debt

How it works

Cash-flow realities we see in plastics & injection molding
- Resin, colorant, and additive price swings

- Press upgrades, automation, and auxiliary equipment (chillers, dryers, robots)
- PPAP, ISIR, and validation cycles that delay revenue on new programs

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. Tooling is a finance-able asset. Lenders will often bundle the mold and press into one equipment loan, especially when the mold is tied to a specific customer program with a clear production forecast.
OEMs and Tier-1s are exactly the kind of buyers factoring is built for. Advance rates land in the 85–92% range and factors advance within 24–48 hours of invoice, so you're not carrying the OEM's payment cycle on your own balance sheet.
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.
