Is asset-based lending (abl) a good fit for plastics & injection molding?

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

How fast can a plastics & injection molding 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 plastics & injection molding 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 I finance a mold as well as the injection press?

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.

How does factoring work with OEM automotive customers on net-60?

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.

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 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.
